littleheavenRest well, Arthur Lydiard. A great Kiwi icon, who died in a Texas hotel room aged 87, still doing what he loved - talking about sport.
I never realised he initiated the jogging craze. Another great Kiwi invention *g* Apparently at the time it had the medical industry in an uproar, saying it was bad for people's health, and if you were overweight you'd be better to stay home and rest.
