I have a 'memory' of listening to his sub 4 minute mile on the radio, I'm not sure if it is real or an imagined memory.

Thanks for posting the video Togo. I found it, to my surprise, incredibly moving. Such an achievement. R.I.P. Sir Roger.

Yes Lady. We also salute the Chris Brasher and Chris Chataway contributions. Different times....different mindsets. They were not like our current crop of "clever" able youngsters. Shame really.

Absolutely Togo, I remember them all very well.
