Clyde Bird is an Australian bodybuilding icon and is spoken about by past champions as a mythical larger-than-life character.
No sooner had he arrived he vanished. Clyde dropped out of the sport shortly after appearing to have the bodybuilding world at his feet.
Clyde has since passed but I hope by re-publishing articles of Clyde (such as this one) his legend will live on.
Many thanks must go to Craig Lucas the publisher of Hardcore Aussie Muscle for providing this exceptional article for presentation on the website.
