ABOUT ME
MY STORY
I was raised in Australia after being born in the UK. It was whilst in Australia that he discovered a talent for running, which was to change his life. His school athletics career culminated in three All-England Schools titles both on the track and cross-country. This included smashing Steve Cram’s long-standing senior boys 1500m record.
My 1985 championship record of 3.45.6 min/sec still stands to this day. He went on to win silver at 1500m in the world schools games and was set to become a senior Great Britain and England international athlete at the age of nineteen often running along side Steve Ovett and Sebastian Coe. I also finished 20th in the World Cross-Country Championships in 1983 in his year in the age group.
This was one of the last great sporting milestones left to be broken. I took his place in the starting line up against Olympic medallist Jim Spivey (USA), James Mays (USA), Bob Verbeke etc. I broke the UK All-Comers record becoming the first man to run sub-4 minute mile on British soil. The first Staffordshire man to run under 4 minutes for the mile and the fastest man in the world at that time.
The greatest moment of my running life was when he was asked to take the place of an injured Sebastian Coe in the England V USA indoor match at Cosford Indoor Arena on March 9th 1985. Coe was the current Olympic champion and wanted to be the first man ever to run a sub-4 minute mile in doors on British soil. This was one of the last great sporting milestones left to be broken. I took his place in the starting line up against Olympic medallist Jim Spivey (USA), James Mays (USA), Bob Verbeke etc. I broke the UK All-Comers record becoming the first man to run sub-4 minute mile on British soil.
