    My friends and I had a Jet action figure. We took it everywhere with us. If you could hook Jet onto the inside of someone's pint glass without them noticing, they had to down it. She came on my stag night and is even in some of my wedding photos. Eventually, after she had been with us for a good 7 or 8 years it was decided to tape her to a huge rocket and blast her into the night sky as the clock struck midnight on millennium eve. It was a profoundly moving moment, only slightly spoiled by the fact that someone found her in Tesco car park the next day, a bit burnt and with her arms missing.

    It got even weirder when she was then mistook for Richard III

    There aren't any rumours. Think of it as the lunch interval in a cricket match or a long injury break in football. The commentators don't just sit in silence. They fill the time with inconsequential small-talk and anecdotes.
    I suppose I could make something up if that would help.

    Charlton have been linked with Barnet's John Akinde. The 25 year old hit 31 goals in a prolific season that saw the Bees promoted back to the football league. He has attracted interest from a number of league clubs, but the player himself is thought to favour a move to the Valley.

    Uboat, North London Addick and I will continue to discuss real life stories of old gladiators and if you want any rumours I suggest you start a gladiator thread

    Was many things Keith Stevens a bouncer I don't believe so 8)

    Rhino had a charity boxing match with Mikey Carroll the lottery winner I think It was the York Hall, once again I am unable to recall much of the evening, I also can't recall if it was the pre or post fight press conference that we were at but I am remember rhino wanting to break him in half, and he had the oddest colour eyes on a black man I have ever seen,

    He once told me that the wolf man had really smelly breath

    Rhino was a bouncer at sw1 club when nigel Benn was dj and I kicked over a geezers make shift crack pipe can, whilst Pilling out my head causing a huge riot where rhino was defending me against 5 yardies, until they could smuggle us out the back, battered and bruised

    Ruck on pills......impressive.

    I could not fight that's why I was battered and bruised, I loved the guys hitting me but they didn't want t to hug it out

    I'm enjoying this. Even though we're just discussing old gladiators and drugs. Anyone else got any old gladiator or narcotic stories they can share?
    Shadow used to live down the road from me and got kicked out of Gladiators for steroid abuse.

    Shit story but best I've got I'm afraid.

    No that's a lie, I watched rhino batter Carroll in a rematch in Manchester, and got mashed in a club with shovell before he went to m people and the hairy one jon I think his name was from natural life and Peter Hooton plus and this is grainy but I am sure terry Phelan was there and got cross with me over a dance with his Mrs

    Now that's rock and roll

    Darren was great for us back then, but this is now. I don't see RD funding a move for Bent at his stage of his career. Doesn't seem to fit with the network ethos to me.

    I much prefer the Gladiators fest - it beats 300+ pages of speculation that ultimately turns into nothing, which is normally how these things go during the summer!

    I once saw JET in panto with Alvin Stardust and a bloke from stars in their eyes who claimed to look like Chris De Burgh.......
