Probably a good thing but it does take some of the fun out of it. [Post edited 22 Dec 2024 4:03]

British record though! Must say I took little to no interest at the time, but seeing the back story changed my mind - he spent a year in hospital as a child (crock knees) and was told by many docs. to never do any sport, take up reading instead. No money or support behind him apart from his Mum, & a dad who mocked his ambitions. |  |
