| I'd like to be able tell you more about this mysterious character but he's always so busy "training". All we know is that he's been competing at interclub since 1984 (and boy is he tired...), ran for Sandy for a bit after the A-Grade cock-up of 1991/2 and returned to the gold and black last season. Rumours are he may one day again break 60s for 400m, but don't hold your breath. | |||
