Commonwealth Games Successes! - 20. August 2014
As you all know, the Commonwealth Games were in my home city of Glasgow this summer, and despite heavy security around the games sites, I managed to meet loads of competitors throughout the couple of weeks, some of whom were kind enough to come out and meet me having arranged it in advance, others just luck of the draw.
Pretty much everyone listed below signed my Glasgow 2014 Multi tshirt, most signed a Games Preview Mag for a supporter who is donating loads for it to my fundraising,while others donated kit.
I'm still working on identifying everyone I met... there were a few one of randoms during the games, but here's some highlights...
Aidan Caves - Canada Cycling - Donated loads of kit to my fundraising, he was the first person awesome enough to come out and meet me at the village.
Kim Mickle - 2014 Javelin GOLD - met her on the train into town 
Nikki Hamblin - Double Delhi Silver Medal winner
Victoria Pendleton - outside her hotel, delighted to get her, though gutted I didn't have my London 2012 Stamps with me for her to sign.
Steve Cram - in a great mood, nicest I have ever seen him, though it was 90mins after Laura Weightman took silver.
Josh Taylor - 2014 Boxing GOLD
Kwagga Smith, Warren Whiteley, Frankie Horne & Werner Kok all 2014 Rugby 7s GOLD

David Millar - Scottish cycling legend - caught him as he came back to the village looking for a taxi... was lucky to get him as he was with his kid.
Nick Haig, Blair Tarrant, Shea McAleese & Alex Shaw - all with the Kiwi Mens Hockey team, which came so close to Bronze.
Sally Pearson - 2014 100m HURDLES GOLD second time I got her in a couple of weeks, this time the morning after she was involved in the closing ceremony. Glad to get her on the tshirt, which I didn't manage before.
Danielle Hill - Northern Irish swimmer - took two of my vests inside the village and got them signed up ... one by loads across the board which I am still working on, the other with top notch swimmers like Le Clos, Magnussen, Murdoch, Miley and more.
Michael Jamieson - 2014 Swimming SILVER - spotted him on a rainy day outside the village and he remembered me from two years ago
Claudia Fragapane -2014 FOUR GOLD MEDALS Gymnastics - signed my tshirt but didn't seem to like the attention, couldn't get a photo with her.

There were a fair few disappointments, several who arranged to meet me who didn't quite make it and Ian Thorpe who totally blanked me. But hey, part of the fun... |

Usain Bolt (Commonwealth Games Glasgow) - 24. Juli 2014
I wrote a letter to the database address 4 months ago and today I received my letter back with a signed promotional card. I was also backed up by the fact it had been sent from Glasgow where the Jamaican team have spent the last week preparing for the Commonwealth Games!
So happy with this! |
