    Anyone doing the Barnsley 10k at Royston sports centre on Sunday morning? I am. Don't know whether to wear a Reds shirt or my dedicated running top. Should make the first team squad do it. :D (casualty)

    Barnsley 10K on Sunday - Spanner

    I can still remember your Mum, bless her, stood on Park Road watching either the 10k or Barnsley Six. </p>

    She gave me a reight cheer on both laps when I ran past her.</p>

    It must have been around 1985-7.</p>

    Both races were classics i.e. Tough.</p>

    At the end of one race I was having a shower in the Tech when Errol &quot;bomber&quot; Graham joined me, we had a good chat about how the race went. I finished in front of him in the race but I wouldn't have wanted to get in the boxing ring with him.</p>

    Jimmy Saville use to attend some of our events and just before the start of one race he gave Curly Burton his Bling to save for him. When Curly gave it him back after the race he asked Jimmy how much it was worth. The answer was &quot;about 10 grand&quot;.
