RIP Huge impact at the time, imagine winning the 66 World Cup win to gauge how much it caught public imagination. Watched it on TV as a six year old. From our flat in Springfield my dad would send me on an errand to get his tobacco from Brandons at top of Victoria Way (nothing unusual about 6 year olds buying tobacco in those days!). Said he would time me to see if I could beat Roger Bannister. Strangely it was always dead on 4 minutes no matter how many times I fell for it.
