I read a article written by Sebastian Coe on England's World cup bid failure. It made for an Interesting read. This is a man who has been successful in bringing the Olympic games to the UK so he knows how to present a bid.

    Always preferred Ovett to Coe but Coe deserves all the accolades. The only problem is every time I think of Coe I have this image of William Hague on his shoulders in his underpants.

    Can't see what his upbringing and/or political persuasions has got to do with the success he and his team had both getting The Games, the then brilliantly staging them!

    Ridiculous statement. He delivered arguably the best Olympic Games ever. He also went to state comprehensive schools, though someone's background is totally irrelevant; what they do with their life is far more important.

    You have to remember though that dartonion said the same about cricket.
    He's obviously lower class & proud :-)

    “Blatter once said to me 'Your game is run by idiots, it's not run by bright people'...

    Whilst I hate Blatter and everything he stands for, you can't argue with that imo.

    Always an Ovette fan but fair play to Coe...one of the few Olympics to make a profit, and genuinely leave a legacy.

    It was more Willian Hague in his underpants on his shoulders that scares me not his political persuasion and I said he deserves the accolades

    As some of you know, I collect autographs for a hobby (sad, i know) and one evening I found out that Coe was hosting a charity party at the Guildhall in the city. As you can imagine, there were loads of rich and 'important' people turning up in there posh cars and nice outfits but no Coe!! With the party already 15 minutes in an with me ready to go home, a lonely figure walks through Guildhall Square, yep, it was Coe. I asked him to sign my picture which he obliged to do and I asked him why he was running late. His reply........I got the tube in!
