it would have been Beryl’s 82nd birthday the other week, a few days before mine, I was thinking about her today and mentioned her at work as been one of the greatest athlete’s ever, any sport/any era, that she was an amateur and working mum to boot just makes her achievements even more ridiculosuly impressive.

I found another bit of footage presented by Phil Liggett from around 6-7 years back that I hadn’t seen, not particularly long but there was a nice surprise for her husband Charlie and daughter Denise.

Enjoy.

Seen it many times, actually visited it once a long while back.

Very nice BTBS, I enjoyed that.  Translated to the modern era her achievements would have made her a celebrity and a millionaire but somehow I don’t think she would have enjoyed that side of things.
