I can remember those Olympics so well - David Hemery and John Sherwood in the hurdles, Lillian Board who was dead within two years at just twenty two, Martin Woodruff who is a fellow Old Cantonian (that’s where the similarities begin and end), Chris Finnegan and John Carlos and Lee Evans giving black power salutes on the medal rostrum.

We win far more medals now than we did then though.
