Did the commentary say this man was a former p.e. teacher? I feel sorry for those kids!

Quick quiz: In 1982, when Seb Coe was Olympic Champ at 1500m, Steve Ovett was the world record holder and Steve Cram won the European and Commonwealth Champion, who was the fastest British athlete over 1 mile for that year?

He lived and taught at my school in New zealand in 1977 and he was a member of A,R,R,S,E--------this was the association of road running staff enthusiasts.
He was a nice guy I ran with him afew times and he put in a fantastic leg in the school road relay.

Remember seeing this at the time, and astonished that Ron Pickering didn't realise the record was on when he read out the last lap time. A masterful run from Moorcroft, must've been kicking himself that he didn't get under 13:00.

This is such a wonderful race from Moorcroft, too bad the commentator is an idiot. Still, cheers for the upload!

Fantastic, i was hoping someone would post this. What an incredible achievement, to take nearly 6 seconds off the WR and to do it all alone. Brilliant.
