Thought some might be interested in this recent obituary of Andy Holden. The description shows that he'd have fitted well into the Club: Quote:Andy Holden was an athlete whose heroic consumption of ale did nothing to stop him winning. Thought Mick and others of that time may remember him racing? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/10572152/Andy-Holden-obituary.html

He was from "an era when the enthusiastic amateur could still excel in athletics".

I didn't know Andy personally, although I did race against him often. He epitomised everything good about our sport, and was a legend at Tipton Harriers, a club built on very similar principles as ours.
