“He is wearing an Ipswich School vest and I remember going to Northgate for a Suffolk Cup athletics event. We think Grahame won the race, but it was a long time ago.

“Note, this was still on grass, as Northgate did not have its athletics track In 1978.

“I would also have been at this event, but I’m a middle distance runner, not a hurdler.”
