While I was at Poly in Manchester in about 1988, one of the students went on Blind Date and she was a bit wacky, for a few weeks afterwards she was quite well known for this around the campus.0

I knew Stuart back in the seventies as he was in charge of PE at Thames Poly back then and took our rugby training (playing the odd game for us too but I digress).
It was only a few years after he competed in the 110 metres hurdles at Mexico in 1968 and he was still pretty useful in the weights room. He also coached Geoff Capes and Geoff would come along to the Poly weights room for our sessions. I can remember Geoff bench pressing 350lb in sets of 20 (!) and four of us taking the bar when he had finished! Pre multi gym days! Judy Oakes also came sometimes along with some lesser known but still distinctly useful local athletes.
A few years later in 1983 I went to the Europa Cup at Crystal Palace with a friend. My friend said "look Stuart Storey the commentator is standing over there." I wandered over, followed by my friend, and Stuart shhok my hand and addressed me by name and we had a chat. My friend was shocked and impressed. I remember it because it was one of the very few times in my life that I've managed to impress anybody!0 -
