Well... he was only hope of a British meadal winner! So basically all british athletics died... now you got Kelly Holmes, so people pretend to like it again. only races worth watching are 100m sprints, and 110m hurdles, so I think Colin will be remmebered more than any Englsih athlete!
With out even thinking that much I can remember names like Christie,Coe,Ovett,Edwards,Gunnell,Sanderson, Thompson,Foster You may not remember them as they are English & Olympic GOLD winners unlike Colin The Taff Choker
Maybe with exception of Christie and Gunnell.. none of others were as good as Colin. Why you call him choker?! Christie was on the gear anyways! had a bit of a nervous disposition If i remember correctly, couldn't wait til gun went!
Gutted I can't get home in time to go down Cardiff for the game!!! It will be mint down there for this match!
I am sure your time in the North East makes you more Geordie than anything else these days. Them tix are going for big bucks on Ebay http://search.ebay.co.uk/wales_Tickets_W0QQfromZR3QQfsopZ1QQsacatZ1305QQsalicZ3
Wanna give me a lift home then B.O.B???!!!!!!!!!! I just checked the tickets out on ebay.. shocking! My ticket for Wales v England game was worth £14, and got offered £250 for it before game in the Prince of wales pub, no chance was I selling it!
True - been here for 15 years now! Far longer than anywhere else. Which means I now support Newcastle as far as football goes, but stick with Wales for the rugby.
I would but I don't know exactly when I'm coming back yet. Probably Monday or Tuesday as I'm off next week.
Aye, don't matter then. I wouldn't want to come back up anyways... would be staying at home for two weeks.
