Known affectionately as 'Larry' who was part of the group known as 'The PLS Geriatrics'
I am probably their age now from from when they ran. Larry, Billy 'the Bin' Collinson, Harry Brown, Glynn Jones, John Coulthard, Ted Maden, Kevin O'Brien (who is still running with us), Jim Daley, Charlie Rankin, Phil Quinn and Myles Buckley. They where all great steady paced runners who us younger members learned at lot from, especially how to pace over distance.
Fondly remembered Larry, RIP.
. . . and how could I forget to add, Ted Lloyd. A PLS stalwart of the club and a fantastic Chairman for many years.
What a great group of people and fantastic runners from all walks of life who came together as friends linked by their enjoyment of running which had no boundaries.
Nice words Joe. As a footnote, Billy the Bin is still listed as an active football referee in the Liverpool County FA Handbook. I'm not sure how much whistling he's actually doing tho'!
