4. Ben Thatcher once bit the head off and dove a chewed it to the point where he swllowed it whilst on stage in his school play. When asked why he did it he replied "it was an accident".
Ben Thatcher spent a frustrating year at a Buddhist seminary between leaving school and joining Millwall, in search of Nirvana. Unfortunately his fellow monks preferred jazz.
5. Ben Thatcher once officiated a fight between a shark and a hippo, but got bored and beat them both up before visiting his nan for a cup of tea and a bourbon biscuit.
As a teen, Ben Thatcher invented the BowFlex and is independently wealthy as a result. He only began playing professional football as a means to sell excercise machines to clubs, but soon found that he was better than everyone else at the training ground and kept playing. His gran was very proud of this, so he bought her a swimming pool equipped with a waterproof Stanna Stairlift.
Ben Thatcher told his little brother that sea otters aren't mammals, but fish, even though Ben himself is a marine biologist and knows otherwise. Ben simply wanted to see his little brother fail his class report, in order to teach him to begin projects early, which help him develop skills necessary to succeed in life
Ben, his sister Carol and his parents Den and Peggy appeared on Ask The Family. The programme was never aired after an angry Ben layed out the very smug Robert Robinson who had kept laughing at Ben's answers.
The incident was on YouTube but has been removed.
Ben was the first kid in his street to get a Raleigh Grifter. He'd wanted a Chopper like his older brother Mark but they had been discontinued.
When the Chopper was relaunched a few years ago Ben bought one but smashed it up when he saw the gear stick had been moved. It was purple.
Ben thatcher spent 12 years leaning to become a proffessional pilot prior to heading to Kenya to become a game reserve ranger and protect the big five from poachers.....
Ben Thatcher once stood in for Mick Jagger at a Stones gig when his voice conked out halfway through "Honky Tonk Woman". The transition was so seemless that he has since filled in on evey tour since 1985 thereby proving that if you try sometimes you just might get, get what you need.
When asked who, in her opinion, the perfect role model for today's youth is, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II replied, "That c*** Ben Thatcher, of course - ya flid!"
In 1989 Ben Thatcher held the WWF and NWA (later WCW) World (USA) Heavyweight Wrestling Champion belts simultaneously, beating Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, the Junk Yard Dog, Tito Santana, the British Bulldog and Miss Elizabeth (in a cage match) along the way. He was the first to hold belts in the two most prominent wrestling federations simultaneously. Now he does the odd guest commentary for WWE pay-per-view events alongside Mean Gene Oakerland.
