Gladiators super fan Damo Cosgrove loves the hit TV show so much he amassed a memorabilia haul costing over £10,000. And such was his love of the TV show that it inspired him to become a PE teacher.
The 42-year-old became obsessed with the cult fitness show as an 11-year-old. Now he has amassed a huge haul of Gladiators gear, including two pugil sticks, which were used in the show's Duel event.
Damo, from Egham, Surrey, has also met some of the stars, including Scorpio and Lightning. He said: "Gladiators is childhood for me. It sparked the initial reaction that sport was great and then I pursued sports and exercise science at university and became a PE teacher."
