As an ex-Rugby football player, who scared most opponents off the field, Basil is a man-mountain at a height of 6’2″ (190 cms). He is a huge man with genuine 22″ arms and is one of England’s most popular bodybuilders of all time. Many contest highlights are included as Basil competes with his peers.

BASIL FRANCIS YEARS OF 1987 & 1988 – EXTRA NOTES:

1987

There were 3 huge events in September 1987. On the 12th it was the NABBA Amateur Universe, won overall by Basil.
Then on September 19th in Antwerp it was the NABBA Worlds, and Basil won tall class 1 and narrowly lost the overall to Olev Annus.
Next weekend on 26th September in UK it was the Amateur Super Body Power Classic, held with the NABBA Pro Mr Universe.

Basil was entered for the Pro Universe but deciding not to go up against Annus again, the eventual Pro winner, and entered the Super Body Power Classic instead. Basil won his class and then won overall Mr SBP Classic of 1987. I did not put out a separate video on this SBP amateur event, but will include the highlights in a future Classic Collection video. Most of the same top competitors were in the Amateur Universe video from 2 weeks before.

1988

The SBP show had the 1988 NABBA Pro Universe contest as the main event, and Basil made his Pro debut that day. He placed an outstanding 3rd in a very hot field where the results were as follows:
