I agree with you 100% m8 that Nick should be included in the 'hall of fame'
for his outstanding contribution and personal achievements in the sport
as most definitely should some of the individuals you've mentioned.
However it is incredulous to assume under any circumstance that a novice should
be included in the hall of fame.
If this was the format of the british hall of fame, then no-one would take
it seriously and it would be a discredit to all those who have earned their
place there.
"If someone had put my name forward for this, at this stage in my career, i'd
think they were taking the piss".

thanks chaps..

i think adrian just picked a few names that i have trained over the years

going farming now

I also would like to see Nick in the hall of fame for his achievements over the years for armwrestling in the uk

Mark, if someone mentioned my name to go in the hall of fame i also would think they were taking the piss, but when i read Adrians post that is clearly not the case mate, he was stating the people who Nick has got into the sport novice and pro

I can see that now guys, no malice intended.
I just see it as i read it, Adrian wrote:
'plus all the lads'.
Although i would expect to see you in it Peter in the not to distant future.

No worries Mark, to be honest in a year or two i would be happy if i could call myself a pro armwrestler but i think ive got a long way to go to get where some of the pros mentioned are today. Seriously though i could see you doing really well for the sport and in the sport in the years to come.

hall of fame is for Multiple british champs world medal holder, if people would like to put names in this post ill hold a poll at end of next week , please dont put my name down as i know for a 100% fact i should not be in there , also do not put names that are in now because there in NOW on achievements all world medal holders and multiple british champs.

Thanks Peter but i'm just glad to be able to take part again in a sport i've
loved for over 15 years.
I'm of the same mind as yourself and would be happy if i could just turn pro.
What comes after that is just a bonus.
You've got about 10 years to play with that i don't, so don't count yourself
out at this early stage m8.

A poll is the logical way to go m8 but as for not including yourself in it, that,
with all due respect must be for the voters to decide.
As a former british champion and as an individual with the serious potential
to take the championship again it would be down right wrong for your name
not to appear on that list.
Your opinion is that it shouldn't, others opinions may differ.

WITH ALL RESPECT MARK IM NOT PUTTING MY NAME IM NO HALL OF FAME POL END OFF STORY I DONT NEED MY NAME IN THERE TO TELL ME THAT IM NO WERE NEAR THE GUYS IN THERE NOW,






its for the top lads that have done the best , THERE BEEN MANY BRITISH CHAMPS , FACT ARE FACT I WON THE BRITISH RIGHT ARM NO FUCKER PULLED IT , LEFT I THINK I WON AS I BEAT Sylvan Carty and Clive Ferguson.


STU HALL FACT IS HES BEEN AROUND FOR YEAR AND HAS BEEN MULTIPLE BRITISH CHAMPION AND EARNED IT IN FUCKING WARS.

CRAIG SANDERS SAME PLUS 2ND IN WORLD LOADS OF TIMES

NEIL PICKUP SAME PLUS WORLD CHAMP

ANDY BARKER SAME PLUS WORLD NUMBER 2

STE KERLEW SAME PLUS WORLD NUMBER 3

STE ROGERS SAME PLUS WORLD CHAMP

Alan Greaves SAME PLUS HAD MEDALS AT WORLDS


U SEE MY POINT YOU ARE NOT GETTING ON THIS WALL UNLESS U ARE ON A LEVEL WITH THEM LADS , OR WE MAY AS WELL PUT EVER ONE IN THE HALL, I HOPE MAYBE ONE DAY I CAN SAY YES I SHOULD BE ON IT .

TELL U WHAT U ASK ANY OF THEM LOT IF THEY THINK THEY SHOULD BE ON IT AND U WILL GET A YES OFF ALL TRUST ME .

Fair enough m8, i completely understand where your coming from but just
bare in mind the number of arm wrestlers in this country, from novice - pro and
out of ALL those guys and girls where you place on that list.
For some people fame can be attained by the level of respect others have
for you as an arm wrestler, not only by achievements.
As an example, Jimmy White should most certainly be included in the british
snooker players hall of fame(most would agree), yet he hes never won a
world championship tournament or ever ranked as number 1 in britain.
Hope you see my point m8.

i agree

respect is not getting u in the hall , being as good as the lads in there will .

That's a fair enough assessment of who should make the hall of fame but
if it's open to everyone to vote on, then how can one be sure that EVERYONES vote
has NOT be influenced by other factors?
i.e. respect, friends, idols, contributions to the sport or personal feelings that
some individuals just deserve to be there?

Bottom line is, 'one can't'.
As long as this fact remains people will vote for there personal favourites
be it acceptable or not.
Perhaps then a poll would not be as practical as first thought, maybe there's
another way. (Perhaps the ranking table)

your right i poll would not work , were not speaking about are fav pullers , or who as done a lot for the sport , were taking about are best arm wrestlers , iv asked all the lads in there and they all say the same they hav got to be the best we have had in britsh arm wrestling so far, to get in u have to have won british MULTIPLE times and have pulled at top level , now i use me as a e.g and lets say andy barker as a e.g only


i have not pulled at andy barkers level , hes had world silver medal 2 times , won MULTIPLE british titles pulled all over the world and for the like of me to be in would make the hall of fame false.

so lets not hear about what people have done for the sport or how much respect people have or fav puller, thats the hall of who people like .

black and white u can say yes i should be in there from results, ste kerlew he said look terry i should be in there and hes right results say he should, mine dont and there a few name iv been asks to put in good pullers and i have loads of respect for them guys , but there not on the same level.

Fair play then Terry, it may still be possible to do a poll as long as the parameters
have been laid.
i.e. people's selections MUST have a minimum amout of british titles, say
3 for example.
or
their selection must have been placed in europe, say top 6
or
at the worlds, top 10 perhaps
If the voters are aware of the criteria beforehand they will know themselves
if their choices fall into in such category.
If not they then know beforehand that their choice wont be considered.

yeh but same again top level more like to 5 but ill ask the people who no the best e.g the people that are in there and come up with some thing .

I once won Butlins ( devon cliffs ) armwrestler of the week award. Surly that gets me into the top 5 ????

God loves a trier Dean.

I'm sure whatever structure you come up with will be fine m8 just as long
as everyone knows the criteria beforehand.

I've not won that many British titles i dont think!
But it was an honour to be thought of Tez

Why dont we have two Rankings-

Armwrestler Hall of Fame (based around achievement)
&
Jolly nice chap(pess) - earned respect - done alot for our sport Hall of fame

Everyone's happy!?

-Incidentally the same guy would rank No1 in both lists anyways...
