Lillian Board had been robbed of gold in the last inches of the women’s 400 metres, beaten into second place one-tenth of a second behind Colette Besson from France. The cognoscenti returned a unanimous verdict: at 19 Lillian’s time would come at the Munich Olympiad of 1972.

Board's performances at 400 m in the 1966 season earned her a place in the England team for the Commonwealth Games held in Kingston, Jamaica, that August. Here, after winning her 400 m heat (54.7), Board finished fifth in the final in a time of 54.7 seconds, just outside her personal best. It was a very creditable effort for a 17-year-old. Disappointingly, she was not then chosen for the Great Britain team at the European Championships in Budapest, which were held from 30 August – 4 September. However, such disappointment was short-lived as later in September, she made her Great Britain debut, achieving fourth in the 400 m (55.9) in a match against France in Lille.

The main difference is that under the civil law test, a person who uses force cannot rely on unreasonable mistakes when seeking to justify their use of force, whereas they can in criminal proceedings.

But he was also just as engaging away from the workplace. He enjoyed life to the full, always first to the bar and the first to suggest a sporting challenge, and, of course with a sizeable side bet to boot. By the time David Emery invited me to move from being rugby correspondent for the Scottish Daily Express to London, I already knew him well, had time to wander the rabbit warren corridors of the Fleet Street building and was keen to go south. After two months, I told him I hated F1, it was too much of a clique, and I wanted to simply concentrate on being the rugby correspondent, which he had also gifted to me. He took me to Stamford’s wine bar across the road, and by the time we left, he had convinced me that journalism might not make me a millionaire but sometimes you could live like one, especially if you were doing Formula 1.According to reports reaching the public at the time of this publication, news is reaching the public that well known journalist died16 months after suffering a debilitating stroke.

About 25 years when I finally stopped after about 400 grands prix, we marvelled at my naivety as we went round Berkshire golf course at a Press Golf Society outing where David, a past captain, would produce the hip flask, and two of his sons and myself would laugh our way way along the fairways. The game recognised his ‘great contribution to rugby union journalism’ at the UK Rugby Writers’ Club annual lunch at The Oval late last month. As his younger son Sam collected the award to an ovation from the great and the good, nobody knew that his father had only ten days to live following a stroke on the eve of England-Wales 15 months ago. Malcolm Folley, one of the finest sportswriters of his generation and a serial award winner to boot, describes Emery as “one of the most significant journalists of his generation through his empathy, knowledge and human decency. No one who encountered him on his remarkable journey through life ever had a dull moment in his company.’’ An inquest into the popular unemployed man's death has ruled that David, from Poplar Court in Cross Heath, died from "acute ethanol toxicity". He had a nose for news few could match, something I discovered to my lasting cost some 40 years ago. After another one-sided Wales-England at the Arms Park, he scooped us all with the story of Fran Cotton retiring because of a heart condition. In 1974, Emery ran for the United States House of Representatives against incumbent Democrat Peter Kyros and won in an upset, one of only a handful of Republican gains in a year when Democrats gained 49 seats in the House of Representatives. He was reelected in 1976, 1978, and 1980.In 1969, Hemery won a silver at the European Championships in the 110m hurdles, but missed the next European Championships in 1971 due to injury. At the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Hemery defended his title and finished third, behind John Akii-Bua from Uganda and Ralph Mann from the United States. He was also a member of the silver medal-winning British 4 × 400 m relay team, one of whose members was David Jenkins. Then Ben Johnson happened. Jim write his account of the failed drugs test and filed. Perhaps he was mindful of my earlier remarks and did not wish to over-react. Whatever, it wasn’t the piece I knew Jim had in his heart.
