For a few years in the middle of the 1970s, our Senior Men's Road Relay team were among the best in the UK, winning major honours.
Up to then, only Mike Turner had achieved much success on his own, so being thrown into the limelight during this era meant a lot to the other members of the squad.
Such successes also put the Liverpool Harriers firmly into the eyes of the press (to the point where Athletics Weekly reluctantly wrote "perhaps Liverpool really do have the best 6-man team in the country"!), which engendered great publicity for our Club and great pride for its Members.
Many people suggested we should document how this all happened. Eventually Frank Davies (an ever-present in the team of the 1970s) pulled together memories and press cuttings to produce an article which you can read by clicking here to open a copy in a new window. |
