I didn't know anybody maintained ATLs for both the Angles and the Saxons!

OK, I guess I should have stated in my original post - don't post answers on here, or else you ruin it for everyone else! :roll:

SC - Yes, I did mean to put 6 under 20.20 with Campbell being the other one I was going to name.

The 2nd one was definitely the easiest of the bunch because you excluded Campbell.

[ed gee]

Thompson's best was at the 1974 Commonwealth Games 2;09+.

Other than Clayton, no one ran under 2;09 until 1981.
