: Speaking of punching the daylights out of things, this discussion reminds me
: of some fellow from BITD who was dubbed the Jug Puncher. My brains may be
: scrambled, but I think his name was Dr. Richard Head, well it was Dr.
: something or other. When I was a wee Marathon-er I found his videos quite
: inspiring. :D
Do you mean The Jug Slugger?
Legend has it that he could lift a Juggernaut with one hand, wrestle it to the ground, climb on its back and ride it into battle. There was even a pic on the web.
Actually his name was Nicholas Head... and he lived with his mom (ok I made that last bit up). ;)
Not sure where you are getting the Dr. from. Perhaps Dr John Sumner? Another famous Marathon pugilist.
