On the Impact of sports on her life

Davey, the only reason I’m here today is because of sports. Really! I mean, god I’m a healthy old dame and I feel fine and it’s the people who weren’t interested in athletics aren’t around anymore. That’s sort of number one. And two I really enjoyed it and the people I met I’ve enjoyed seeing them since. I did at the time and I’ve been friends with them ever since. And it was a friendly thing. And as I say, the camaraderie was a big part of the sports. You know, it was fine to try and do your best and we certainly did. We’d split a gusset to do our very, very best but quite apart from that it was the, the association, being with these other people of like interests. And they all do different things now, but we’ve got that in common forever.
