I made a lot of friends in the walking world back in the 80s but one of the best was Denis Jackson. He was fiercely competitive and always so unassuming.
I made my GB debut on the track at Brighton alongside Denis and the stadium announcer kindly announced that we were the future of British 50km walking. I'm afraid my future was short but Denis stayed around much longer and always did better than anyone would predict.
You can now find the finish of his European 50km performance on YouTube.
I'm hoping to meet up with Denis in a couple of months but I see his nephew reasonable often - he my co-website publisher Paul Jackson.
