It might help if you put it the right way up.

If there is a list of competitors compare the signatures to that and then google the names. If the competitors 'made it' then there will be something on the internet about them and you can work out if the programme is worth something.

Think he's the father of the gorgeous Lynsey Sharp.

He's not in the best of shape himself now though, by al accounts.

And that's if he's the same bloke as alluded to by Dangerman.

I could name a few other athletes from that era (late 50's/early 60's)

Gordon Pirie
Paul Nihill
Mary Bignall (later Mary Rand)
Lynn Davies
Ann Packer (mother of the Man City Brightwell boys)

No idea if they are in this programme though unless you tell us.
