[QUOTE="BlackpoolTerrier, post: 6799428, member: 18035"] Came very close to breaking the world marathon record on a shit course in Dublin in 1982. Beat some of the greatest marathoners in the world (including Salazar) when finishing ninth in LA in 1984. Had a phenomenal head for analysis - every athlete's PB at his fingertips. Some of our greatest athletics memories are framed by Jerry's refelctions. Sonia's great nights anchored by himself and Bill O'Herlihy were pure magic. Wasn't afraid to call it as he saw it either. He had a very clear view on what constituted elite performance in sport and the GAA fraternity always got fierce upset when he called out their amateur approach. Jerry's prime was a true golden era for Irish running - Coghlan, Treacy, O'Meara, Flynn, Marcus O'Sullivan, Cusack and Hughes were all contemporaries. World-class performances were the absolute norm and he was a worthy member of the group.
