lynford - Better to have stayed a sporting legend
3 of 3
Im just going back to the OP's statement, Better to have stayed a sporting legend , well, when did he not become a sporting legend? not my statement but the op's.
hes a nasty arrogant man,ive seen him at Athletics stadiums all smiles signing autographs for little kids when the cameras are on him,then soon as the camera moves pushes them away.
and as for him saying people whove fiddled a quid should be jailed one of his relatives(might be his brother but im not certain) has at least one conviction for street robbery!!!
really hes little more than a cheating rude arrogant lout

He's got an impressive bod for his age, nice to look at
Personality wise he seems a bit full of himself, and a bit silly and excitable, but so far I think I like him. As a girl I didn't really appreciate him saying something like if he wanted to have sex with a girl that'd be fine but he'd view his sexual partner as a'skanky ho', but it's likely the conversation was edited to make him look bad.

Utter bollox. I simply don't believe you. The reason being that, over the years, I've witnessed the exact opposite on many occasions. Whenever I've seen him, he was always very approachable & happy to spend a lot of time with crowd members, with no tv camera in sight.
His brother was the black sheep of the family. Into drugs etc. He was killed in a street stabbing several years ago

seen it twice with my own eyes hes surly and arrogant..Even Derek Redmond said he was perfectly balanced with a chip on either shoulder.Colin Jackson who worked with him at "nuff respect" said Linford was impossible to work with.
yeah thought his brother was the one with all the convictions,thats not Linfords doing of course,But his moral stance considering hes a convicted cheat and has family(his niece has been up for drink driving as well) whove gone the wrong side the law(which of course he didnt mention) comes across as a bit sanctimonious

His niece is his dead brother's daughter. Nothing to do with him.
Colin Jackson is one athlete I have seen act a bit 'off' with the fans tbh. He & Linford had a fall out several years ago.

As much as I love Colin Jackson, I would agree with you that he was the athlete who didn't like being approached. I've seen little kids chase Colin for his autograph, (which was quite funny watching them trying to catch him), whilst I've seen Linford (on more than one occasion) stay in the same spot for over 30 mins just happily signing and chatting to the kids.
Linford hasn't been a legend since the nandrolone controversy - and was always hard to find for random drug tests.

Untrue. He missed two. He passed over 100.
I think it's kind of fun to see these ancient legends just doing something different. He's not making the best mark for himself, but he's proving he's "just a guy" Nothing wrong with that - so are most of us!

I think he'd more likely call a spade a JCB he tends to be quite OTT
I like him. A lot.
At least he's not afraid to get his opinion out there, even though it may not be popular.
That's more than most people can say.
