I may have posted 1 or 2 of these videos elsewhere here, so my apologies if so. Superb sportsmen, one of the top commentators of any age & what a presenter (hmmmm)!

An interview first, with real sportsmen - not today's overpaid, "over themselves "Prima Donas"". These guys are absolute heroes to me

Very sad, seeing Ali just sitting there quietly.

Very sad, seeing Ali just sitting there quietly.

Absolutely, wit still there though and obvious how highly George & Joe respected him both as an athelete & a friend (IMHO).

I wasn’t sure where to post this, but for anybody who feels a bit disillusioned with today’s football, I highly recommend watching a programme on BBC called “Alfie’s boys” which as many will guess, is all about the England Football team who won the World Cup back in 1966 under the guidance of Sir Alf Ramsey. It’s a one and a half hour programme which I enjoyed from the first to the last minute - how different it was in those days!!

In what year was the first ever London marathon? Yes, this is a mini quiz.

No, a bit later, 1981. In fact yesterday in 1981.
