Photos from the 80s

May04200712:31 p.m.

I thought I'd follow up my marathon list by giving you all a laugh with some photos from that era - apologies for the dodgy moustache but it was the 80s!!!  The first photo is from the local paper after my first marathon in Bolton in August 1981.  As an incentive for the first person to spot me in the photo I'll sponsor them for £10 - that'll get you looking!  But remember it was 26 years ago!  The other photos may help you spot me and I'll post a bigger clue either later tonight or tomorrow!   Sorry for some reason the photos are furhter down the page...
