Legends
Colin Jackson
Without a doubt one of the greatest athletes that Great Britain has ever produced, Colin Jackson ended his outstanding athletics career in front of an adoring home crowd at the World Indoor Championships in Birmingham in 2003. After more than a decade spent at the very pinnacle of his sport, it was a fitting end to a glittering career.
Colin ranked top ten in the world for 16 years and was World No.1 from 1992-1994. For the last seven years of his career he was never out of the world’s top three and since setting a European junior record of 13.44 in 1986, went on to set seven European, eight Commonwealth and nine UK records at 110mh. Colin still holds the World Record over 60mh indoors (7.30, Sindelfingen, 1994) and has only recently been robbed of his 13 years World Record over 110mh outdoors (12.91, World Title, Stuttgart 1993).
