This is a great story from Athletics Weekly about an English steeplechaser from the 1956 and 1960 Olympics who is still competing today at age 91. Some highlights:
Eric Shirley’s name first appeared in the pages of AW in February 1946, when the magazine was just three months old. Aged 16, he won the Middlesex youths’ cross-country title in Cranford and, amazingly, his results are still being published today as an athlete in the over-90 age group.
.
Shirley was born into a workhouse in Epsom on April 3, 1929, to a 19-year-old single domestic servant. Almost immediately, he was given away with no formal adoption to a middle-aged Irishwoman before being sent at the age of nine to live with the woman’s childless sister in a damp and miserable shack near Abbeyleix in Ireland.
