Tributes have poured in for “giant in heart and spirit” Geoff Capes, the British record-setting shot putter and two-time World’s Strongest Man champion who has died aged 75.
The former police officer was a double Commonwealth Games champion and represented Great Britain at the Olympics three times, but is perhaps best known for his success in the World’s Strongest Man competition, taking the title in both 1983 and 1985.
