I Know What It Takes To Get

Some Of Today's Athletes Do Not Have That Kind Of Pride. They Left School At 16, Have Never Had A Job In Their Life And Are Getting Lottery Funding, Earning Money As An Athlete.

I Think The Athletes Respond Well To Me Because I Have Been Successful.

Obviously I Was Disappointed When It Fell Into Disuse, Because It Was My Own Track Named After Me, But I Am Sure All Those Youngsters We Lost Will Be Coming Back, And I Certainly Intend To Be Down Here As Much As I Can, Coaching And Advising.

I Think It Is Good For Youngsters To See Me At 45 Still Jogging Around The Track. If Me Being Here Gives Them A Boost Then Thats Great.

If You Criticise Something Then You Have To Have An Alternative, But We Do Have To Try And Improve Things.
