I must say, he was before my time, any stories about him? I imagine chasing after Jim Gregory was harder than anything he faced on the track.

Sad news.I remember well the exploits of "The Flying Squad" GB v USA 1961 which was shown live on BBC.Bob Hayes very much a hero of mine,built like a heavyweight boxer and with an unorthodox stride pattern where he would sometimes spike himself with his running shoes.

I didn't realise he had been our Chief Exec. I thought that we had used him as a pre season sprint coach from time to time.
