What did John Anderson do for the ten years Gladiators was off the air?

[CaptainWacky]

I picture him sitting on a park bench, blowing his whistle at children, masturbating slowly through his trousers with a grim look of determination on his face.

He sold Tartan Paint for Dulux.

Before I even clicked on this thread I knew masturbation would have something to do with it, thanks for not disappointing me.

Was Anderson one of the commentators?

 

[CaptainWacky]

Referee. And chronic wanker.

 

[Gagh]

DIPSHITS READY!

 

[CaptainWacky]

He's a great man.

Watching the new Gladiators on BBC1 for some reason. No John Anderson but he's 92 and probably can't whistle anymore. No Wolfman involvement either, a crying same. There's a tall Gladiator named "Giant" which seems like really lazy naming to me. Otherwsie it's exactly the same as on ITV in the nineties and on Sky in I guess 2008: a winning formula?
