Anybody old enough to remember him in Superstars.
I can remember thinking hes only a long jumper he wont be much good.
Fcuk me was I wrong.

Yes, I remember him. Also, David Hemery was a class act in Superstars too (as was the recently departed Andy Ripley).

Used to love watching that (the 70's ones) always remember Kevin Kegans crash in the cycling (ouch!) and brian jacks phenominal performances in the gym tests (100 parallel bar dips in 60 seconds in the 1981 Challenge of the Champions, and 118 squat thrusts in the 1980 World Final)

music is the best ever. Can post all

The insurance premiums went sky high I believe.

"Heavy Action"  by Johnny Pearson. ABC America also used the song during coverage of Monday Night Football.

he looks great for 70, I know the grecian 2000 helps but he does look good

you wouldnt get a premier footballer competing in a superstars type program today, worth too much money for clubs to release them in case they get injured.

best prog ever when a wee nipper. Jacks and Hopper were legends

brian hooper

Jacks in the gym tests. Different class

both incredible athletes, wouldnt be the same if they brought it back, somehow those vintage sportsman seem a cut above despite the improvements in sport science

didn't Brian Jacks train full-time for Superstars?

agree barney

he was world class the bloob. amateur game then

david vine class

They did bring it back for a season or two on Channel 5 a few years ago.  Iwan Thomas was in it when he was pretty much retired, I think, and I cannot remember the others.

Nothing like the original.
