Had my photo took with him,when visiting my school..was about 1982.remember him being a nice guy
Sad to hear today of the death of David Wilkie at the relatively young age of 70. Only seems like yesterday that he was at the forefront of British Swimming/Athletics when Gold Medal Winners from our home countries were few and far between. A true Olympian from the days when you had to fit training in around trying to earn a living.
RIP David
