The passing of Chuck Norris at the age of 86 has left a gap in the world of action cinema. Across films such as The Delta Force and Missing In Action, he became a force in 1980s movies for a start, but it's also the 1980s where this very bizarre film story came from - the moment that led to a toaster, signed by Norris, being sent to a 25 year old local newspaper reader.
Simon Brew tells the tale. Rest in peace, Chuck.
