Superb. Thankyou for this presentation. Peter. What an amazing athlete. And a real gentleman.

[@kevinfitzsimons41]

Peter is a legend. Thank you for all the exciting races!! A gentleman

[@kimbellard4860]

Very underrated; he had a great career. And, if memory serves, he had a full-time (non-desk) job during his athletic career, making it all the more impressive.

[@tomthumb3500]

That’s correct he was a joiner by trade.

Это он-то недооценëн?! Не смешите! Единственный в Мире бегун на 1500м/1 милю, который не проиграл ни одного старта с начала 1957 г до 1961 г!!!! 😮 Это Величайший Бегун всех времëн и народов! Мы, в России, это хорошо знаем и помним! И по окончании беговой карьеры этот человек не потерялся.... стал главой одной из крупнейших Мировых кампаний, связанной со сталелитейной промышленностью... Всех бы так недооценили... 😅😂

Always liked Elliott, had a brilliant career. What a generation of middle distance runners we had in the 80s. I too preferred Ovett but Elliott was my no.2... top bloke....

[@damienabbott9805]

I met Peter Elliott in Leeds in 1998 and he was an absolute gentleman.

Incredible runner and such a humble, articulate guy.

[@kennyhickey2417]

One of the best

[@markcooper7066]

great runner. used to look foward to watching the athletics on a friday night with peter eliott on

[@johnmoorely7275]

Great bloke and great athlete. He peaked just after Coe, Ovett and Cram were in decline though McKean, a contemporary (one year younger) was also world class. I too was born and bred near Rotherham and I too preferred the Cavalier Ovett over the local Roundhead, Coe.

[@terrybyrne4324]

Peter Elliot beat Seb Coe in 1984 (1500m) but somehow was not selected for that event in the Olympics. Does anyone have a vid of his victory? A truly outstanding athlete and incredibly modest. This man ran 1.42. for 800m. Check how many other people have done this.

Thank you for this Phil. It's really appreciated.

[@punanny123]

I remember Peter Elliott as being a brave, gritty talented runner from back in the day. He reminds me why I prefer Northerners as people over Londoners as they are mostly down to earth and straightforward to deal with , no BS. Im a Londoner by the way lol.

[@musik102]

Elliott was great and only a 0.2secs from being Olympic Champ.

This is a great interview. Maybe you could add hashtags and a jazzier title to increase viewers.

[@callumfitzpatrick5052]

Bloody hell he's aged well, look at those broad square shoulders, looks like he's in his forties not sixties, what a legend!

[@contrarian717]

83 World and 88 Olympics he was 4th in the 800m, it was a cruel reward for two excellent races. Just hard luck

[@johnrogan9420]

Ran with a pulled groin muscle in the 1988 Olympics.....still ran hard...real guts!clean unlike Coe

[@siypic]
