1970/80's Olympic runner, bit of a babe from our formative years, sadly dead at 58 from a heart attack.

Sad.She was a looker.
Didn't she take up body -building after her athletics career ended?

Great athlete. Remember her as Donna Murray as well. Coached by the great Mike Smith who brought through so many from the Hampshire area.

Thought she got involved with comedian Bobby Nutt who persuaded her to take up the body building. Hope she never used any pharmaceuticals to enhance that body that may have led to a heart condition?

She was the subject of one of the great moments of athletics commentary and I can't remember whether it was David Coleman or Ron Pickering.
