Very underrated; he had a great career. And, if memory serves, he had a full-time (non-desk) job during his athletic career, making it all the more impressive.
Это он-то недооценëн?! Не смешите! Единственный в Мире бегун на 1500м/1 милю, который не проиграл ни одного старта с начала 1957 г до 1961 г!!!! 😮 Это Величайший Бегун всех времëн и народов! Мы, в России, это хорошо знаем и помним! И по окончании беговой карьеры этот человек не потерялся.... стал главой одной из крупнейших Мировых кампаний, связанной со сталелитейной промышленностью... Всех бы так недооценили... 😅😂
Always liked Elliott, had a brilliant career. What a generation of middle distance runners we had in the 80s. I too preferred Ovett but Elliott was my no.2... top bloke....
i think that 90% of folks don't realise how great peter elliott was...treated by the press as the forgotten man....didn't have the backing of the big 3.....what a record he had
Peter Elliot beat Seb Coe in 1984 (1500m) but somehow was not selected for that event in the Olympics. Does anyone have a vid of his victory? A truly outstanding athlete and incredibly modest. This man ran 1.42. for 800m. Check how many other people have done this.
Great bloke and great athlete. He peaked just after Coe, Ovett and Cram were in decline though McKean, a contemporary (one year younger) was also world class. I too was born and bred near Rotherham and I too preferred the Cavalier Ovett over the local Roundhead, Coe.
I remember Peter Elliott as being a brave, gritty talented runner from back in the day. He reminds me why I prefer Northerners as people over Londoners as they are mostly down to earth and straightforward to deal with , no BS. Im a Londoner by the way lol.

That’s correct he was a joiner by trade.

I met Peter Elliott in Leeds in 1998 and he was an absolute gentleman.
Incredible runner and such a humble, articulate guy.

Elliott was great and only a 0.2secs from being Olympic Champ.
Bloody hell he's aged well, look at those broad square shoulders, looks like he's in his forties not sixties, what a legend!
This is a great interview. Maybe you could add hashtags and a jazzier title to increase viewers.
83 World and 88 Olympics he was 4th in the 800m, it was a cruel reward for two excellent races. Just hard luck
Ran with a pulled groin muscle in the 1988 Olympics.....still ran hard...real guts!clean unlike Coe
Coe was clean.........
