My first love is the sport, and it will always be my priority.

Robert Fox is real good! Enough said!

Some of today's athletes do not have that kind of pride. They left school at 16, have never had a job in their life and are getting Lottery funding, earning money as an athlete.

There was no money in the sport but we'd be out there day in, day out, rain or shine, doing it.

I think the athletes respond well to me because I have been successful.

Obviously I was disappointed when it fell into disuse, because it was my own track named after me, but I am sure all those youngsters we lost will be coming back, and I certainly intend to be down here as much as I can, coaching and advising.

But I sometimes think we have too much of a fixation about 2012.
