As a grown up I probably shouldn't condone / be impressed with this.

But stuff it.

Chapeau Andy Holden. Only 65 but it sounds like 65 fun filled and action packed years.

We the ale drinking athletes salute you.

There is indeed something truly heroic about that (in a way which just doing the 100 pints in a week isn't).

A fellow Lancastrian, I feel a little ashamed I've never heard of him as athletics was my thing. Sounds like he was a top chap. 'Raises somehow inadequate can of Lidl lager'

I regularly drink more pints than miles cycled in a week!
100 is going to take some training though...
(both bike and beer!)

he would regularly perform an after-race trick of drinking a pint while standing on his head — once while he was up a tree.

This right here.

He was only 8sec off the winning 3000m steeplechase chase time at the London Olympics!

They don't make 'em like they used to.
