Smith already had league medals at Hibs and Hearts but less well known Wishart also had one 1955 at Aberdeen. I can't see Smith's record being beaten as you say a treat to watch eleven fine footballers playing the game the way it should be played 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 6,149 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Another racer, Dr Roger Bannister. I remember hearing on BBC the live commentary on his sub-4 minute mile. The race took place in May 1954 at Oxford in the late afternoon. Bannister worked in the morning at St Mary’s Hospital Paddington as usual then took the train from London to Oxford. A sort of upper class Alf Tupper. Edited March 21 by Scott7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
