Another Hero

<<<<<<<< him in my avatar. Haydon the Womble AKA Dean (or Tintin to his friends).

Haydon has been a great ambassador for the club over the past 3 or 4 years, and has had to put up with a lot, including being attacked by both a Hampton and Richcomb player and a Luton supporter.

Today he went the extra mile, in fact 26 extra miles, when he ran in the London Marathon. The time of 6 3/4 hours was nothing to write home about, but as he was wearing the womble suit, that's pretty good going.

Tintin was pretty much dead on his feet at the end, and the last I saw of him was face down on a massage table about to be pampered.

He raised over £4000 for the Children's Trust in Tadworth www.thechildrenstrust.org.uk/

I'm so glad I was there as part of his support team.

I did the first Wolverhampton Marathon back in 1982 and that was hard enough unemcumbered by any kind of prosthetics, so respect for getting round with that bloody thing on and well done for raising so much money for the Children's Trust.

I was actually advised by a spy that you were chasing a Womble round the course!!

I was trying to work out how you knew that, then I remembered our mutual friend.

To be accurate, I gave up trying to keep up with Haydon from Blackfriars Bridge, so I cut through the back streets and across Horseguards Parade so I could get to the finish line when he arrived. Didn't realise that the finish line was completely concealed so I couldn't get a photo.
