I remember seeing his name everywhere he even had a video game.
1984 was a great year.
I had the video game on my commodore 64 GM! I spent hours manipulating a little pulsing icon of Daley over hurdles and hurling discus. Meanwhile the electric guitar that could have made me a star, sat neglected in the corner of my bedroom. Oh 1980s!
I feel your pain, my uncle wanted to be next rock star. I could master the 'cowboy chords' and my singing is awful. I encouraged to up the fiddle but I wasn't living in Texas and Irish folk music can be torture to the ears.

I have suffered watching as much of the opening ceremony as I could bear.
I know other people like it, but crikey that was dull!
