Paul Wynter

[2] During his career as a bodybuilder he was admired for having one of the most perfectly symmetrical bodies in the world,[3] standing at a relatively average 5'8" tall and weighing 180 lbs.

[3] Wynter performed his strongman act on Granada TV's much-loved variety show, The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club in 1974.

According to a 2003 article, Wynter was living in New Moston, Manchester with his wife Mary, who two years his junior and manages a care home.

While the couple survived the incident, Wynter sustained a stab to the chest that punctured his lung.

When it was revealed that the attacker, who had been caught, was awarded freedom by the Manchester court, Wynter boycotted the ceremony out of protest.
