Its easy to forget those who came before the current era. Some of your readers may be aware that Runners World (under the auspices of World Publications) published a raft of Booklets of the Month in the early 1970s including one titled “Dave Wottle Story”, written by Jim Ferstle in 1973. 40 plus pages awash with direct quotes from Wottle and some classic photos – gem of a book if you can get your hands on it. Wottle was one of a kind. Includes a detailed personal account of his Olympic win. Great description of his first 450 metres where he says amongst other things “I just felt like crap”. Quick surf of the internet shows that the booklet is still around.
