Tarzan?

[Lol1]

No Top Gear, too much BB, so sorry, my mind has wondered onto other things. Most of it isn't for a family forum but this snipit came from nowhere.

I know there's not many people on this forum that can remember, but, as a comparison, who was the best Tarzan?

My mom always swears by Johnny Weissmuller, But I was bought up with Ron Ely. So, who was the best and also, can anyone remember who else playing the man ape?

Cricky I am just turned 60 years of age and I have NEVER heard of any of them. Tarzan was not my scene as a young child. I was more an Eagle and Express comic boy in my formative years.

Didn't Mark Spitz once play him, or was that another urban myth?

He was an olympic swimmer wasn't he?
