Alan_R Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7275861.stm can't find the actual story but he done it completed the london marathon. apparently there is some debate wether he is 101 they reckon hes actually 94. I couldn't care! he drinks and smokes like a chimney and hes old either way! and he completes a marathon. well done. hes no pin-up but he doesn't look that old either. I say if he can kick a ball we get him bombing down the right wing next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 On finishing the run, the first words of the ex-member of rock band The Zimmers were: "Where's my beer?" That's a real man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 It's a sad day when a bloke that almost seen the hobo's lift the cup is fitter than I am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 He's an ex-army PT instructor. He retired at 98 but got bored doing nothing and got his old job back! He stopped half way round the marathon for a pint and a fag. Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig_ Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Sure I read somewhere that he was hoping to complete it in 12 hours! Surely it'd be possible to walk a marathon in about half that! Mind you, with all the pint and fag breaks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
