No source, but trust me on this groundbreaking piece of information. Local obit published today for Allan Crossley (wiki). Interesting fella. EDIT: Of note to dead poolers – Crossley is only the 2nd titleholder of Britain's Strongest Man (which started in 1979) to die. The first was Marc Iliffe (wiki), who committed suicide in 2003, aged 30. His death was widely reported because of the circumstances and the fact that he was the titleholder in 2002. Crossley had a long career, and yet no QO. Worth considering for any future picks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
