Looking at David Hemery you would imagine he would struggle with the weight lifting, him and John Conteh put in some great lifts for men of their bodyweight
Brian Hooper who was British pole vault champion came to our school in 1984 on a project to raise funds for the GB Olympics team. You got your photo taken with him. He was a character. He certainly liked the attention from one section of pupils. Our school was spread over two separate locations and the other part of the school got gymnast Suzanne Dando. I was gutted!
Never seen this before but I enjoyed watching it.,. John conteh was a very good physical specimen and he was a good looking guy too....sobering to think 🤔 that David vine Ron Pickering Colin bell and Tony greig have all passed away.....
Pleased to hear that a cricketer took part, as cricket is my favourite sport. Tony Greig, a veritable giant all-rounder, now alas no more. I was just four at the time and Play School age. Too young to remember this!
When Pickering sets the vertical jump for Channon, its about an inch above his finger tips but for the others he puts it against their fingers. Channon might have come third if it had been done fairly.
I remember these days. I saw that the superstars were not wearing protective helmets when playing cricket, cycling, e.t.c. as they would today even if their sponsors permitted it.
The distance between the penalty spot and the goal line looks very short but regardless Peter Shilton, who was possibly the best goalkeeper who ever lived, must have regretted his participation in this.
An English goalkeeper that cannot keep the ball out of the net, especially during a penalty shootout, a persistent problem, some 50-years after this programme was recorded, a solution has not yet been found, presumably the problem will persist beyond- into the future. well done to Shilton for taking part.
Ray Clemence was a better goalkeeper than that lump of lard Shiton. Maradona outjumped him and Breheme’s deflected goal in the 1990 semifinal proves how little spring he didn’t have in his lard like body.
Cricket?? And Jumping?? Really?? Why was Hemry not allowed to run the 100 metres? Sprinting wasn't his sport... He runs the steeple chase?? Which is his sport?? Duh?? He was allowed to run in a later episode and won! I was looking forward to seeing him run!

John Conteh, one of only two people left from the cover of wing's 'Band On The Run'
David Hemery. Legend from my youth.
Grew up with this show, love it, Brian Jacks, Brian Hooper, John Sherwood, Daley Thompson, David Hemery, Keith Fielding et al. Awesome show. 🌟🌟🌟

that was brilliant, thank you
You can’t help but admire the checked trousers worn by Pickering and Vine - especially with a striped shirt!
AMAZING STUFF, No sports star would be allowed to do this in 2018 because of injury, lol.
When Pickering sets the vertical jump for Channon, its about an inch above his finger tips but for the others he puts it against their fingers. Channon might have come third if it had been done fairly.
I'll always remember David and Ron,nice blokes.
Good sportsmanship from Hemmery to congratulate Conteh like that after the weightlifting
David Vine was a brilliant presenter

Didn’t know Rodney Trotter ever competed in Superstars😂
Meet Colin - he's great, he can play football and he's got lovely hair! But... he cant swim.
That isn't the usual "Superstars" theme tune.....definite elements of "Starsky And Hutch" ,there....!!
King colin 💙💙
Why was Hemery fourth in the pistol shooting. I thought that he had won it
David Vine shows why you shouldn't mix checked slacks with striped shirt.

Shilton was a good keeper but hardly the very best ever. In fact his record at saving penalties was poor.
An English goalkeeper that cannot keep the ball out of the net, especially during a penalty shootout, a persistent problem, some 50-years after this programme was recorded, a solution has not yet been found, presumably the problem will persist beyond- into the future. well done to Shilton for taking part.

What was the sailor doing there...hahaha
'Soccer striker...'
Alan Partridge
They shd do one with alan doing the david vine role.
hemerys dips look lower than contehs...
Yeah, they were a LOT more restrictive on that in later years. Dips had to touch the arbiters fist or weren't counted.

Mark , Hemery was a hurdler not a steeple jump runner.
