Your biggest sporting achievements?
Anyone posters got some good sports achievements?
Mine are:
scoring a goal on the turf (old school clarets mad game, think I basically did a Nugent for England goal and stole it from Marv)
3rd at Skiddaw Fell race
10th, but just finishing was enough, at the fellsman 61mile ultra
