    66 sprint king Allie McNab reflects on Champs exploits

    66 sprint king Allie McNab reflects on Champs exploits

    BY HOWARD WALKER Observer senior reporter walkerh@jamaicaobserver.com

    Tuesday, March 18, 2014

    COMING under the guidance of Jamaican greats Dennis Johnson and Herb McKenley, and lining up in the Champs 100m final of 1965 against the likes of Lennox Miller, Michael Fray, Tony Keyes and even beating the legendary Don Quarrie, one would never have thought that Aldrick 'Allie' McNab would have given up track and field for football.

    THERE IS ONLY ONE ONANDI LOWE!

    "Good things come out of the garrisons" after his daughter won the 100m Gold For Jamaica.


    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

      ...and do you wonder if it is the main article or is it about his uncle that had this post make the forum?

          That is quite a lineup of star athletes in that 1965 100m final. Wow!

            Yuh seit!


            *Just to note the article has a number of inaccuracies and omissions (at least left one to draw false conclusions).

            At the end of the tour of the Caribbean territories over the 100yards and 100meters Delroy Wallace was handing out whippings to 'all'.

            Lennox "Billy" Miller won his second Olympic medal in the 100M (...and not the 200M as the article claims).

            1965 McNabb was 2nd year Class 1. 1966 was his 3rd and final year.

            *My memory tells me.

              You are definitely correct about the Billy Miller bronze in Munich, it was in the 100m.

              I used to hear stories from the old man about coaching D'Cup against McNab and Cornwall in those days, he was a terror!

                  ... You are on point. ...and Michael Fray may have had the greatest potential of them all...but he never consistently put in the necessary work. Delroy Wallace, Attride and McNabb I think could have gone on to represent us at the highest levels...but were not motivated to go on.

                            MCKnab used the length of his stride to beat Delroy. For every stride McKnab took, Wallace had to put in two. What does this tell you?
                            Wallace was faaast!
