Thought you were going to say he’s making a comeback.

If he can run the London Marathon then he may still be able to do a job on the left wing 🤣😉

If his pace round Poolsbrook for the Park Runs is anything to go by he's definitely fit enough to get a game still

I worried it was much worse- always a concern when I see a title of just an old players name!
Good luck Gary.

Surprised he was allowed back after taking one of the finishing chips home with him! 🤣

Placed 5255th, that is in the top 10% or so. Very impressive.

That is very good as top runners in clubs all aim for that time and in that heat too brilliant effort 👌

Well done Gary, that's a really good time too.

I could probably do two miles at that pace

He pulled his calf at 18K!

A remarkable effort by Robbo.

I did that walking back to the car after the match and I struggled with the half a mile to where I was parked so he really did do well.
