Olympic Flashback: Daley Thompson, 1984


Man proves he’s not just a hairy face…

For everything that was amazing about Daley Thompson - his athletic prowess, his fantastic computer game, his moustache - he could never quite master celebrating appropriately. Gazza gave us the tears, Beckham made standing Christ-like in awe of himself an art form. While Thompson gave us loitering casually on a podium whistling the national anthem. If he’d had a decent set of pockets, he’d have probably put his hands in those too.

Enjoy him at his best in the above clip.
