Injury

Gosling was seriously injured in August 2001 when he was working as a doorman at Silks nightclub, Mill Street, Cannock. He was slashed across the neck with a bottle, causing a serious wound, and needed a transfusion of four pints of blood. His attacker was recently given a life sentence for wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. He now works as a window cleaner and part-time security at Asda, Cannock. Gosling has begun training local youngsters to become future strongmen.
