Family History Beginners Board / Re: J Duffy of Broxburn-Famous Runner
« on: Monday 22 May 23 08:42 BST (UK) »
Hi My name is Stoward my Uncle was a Scottish runner at the same time as John Duffy Broxburn
they both ran in the final of the Powder Hall half mile John Duffy came first my uncle was second
Both runners went to the 1934 world champion ships in London again John Duffy came first my Uncle second. the world championships in London in 1934 are on utube. Under professional Running I made a comment on the utube race. I am researching my Uncles running career both Duffy and my Uncle competed regularly. I am sure it is the same Duffy. e was a spectacular runner I am logging the races he ran in along with other great runners of the 1920s and 1930s
Hope to hear from you.
