David Coleman thank you for all the mentions of me in the interview between dad and you both in the interview and also at the marathon its self.

[@maddyhumphrey6081]

We love you Dad and we are very proud of you and mum we are very proud of you for going along to the olympics and supporting Dad and being alone there in the stands.

Im amazed to see David Coleman running so fast for so long and able to hold a conversation....

[@robertoc2485]

David was a keen runner himself I believe. As a young man he would run from Cheadle Hulme near Stockport (where he was from) to Manchester where he worked for the BBC every day! A brilliant journalist as well.

I only wish my sister had been born and could have been there in Hythe with me watching the olympics on tv with Nana and Grandad.

Fair duece to Coleman for keeping a good < 6 minute mile pace up at while able to converse.

Before injury curtailed his career, Coleman was a very good athlete at county/regional level . He was, of course, an exceptional broadcaster.
