This must be the 1977 national !!!!!!!

Has to be, surely? He's have been running in the u20s otherwise, he'd only have been 18/19 in 1967!

Yes, it was 77. I was running in the race, representing Ipswich Harriers.

Who is the man at 1:13? Bob Parker? (Dave Bedford's coach). Looks at little like him, but perhaps too young.
