When i was small the main things i knew about my dad was that he played a lot of sport and had a big moustache. For a very long time i thought my dad was both Ian Rush and Daley Thompson and told my friends that my dad was on Grandstand. In reality my dad was playing in the pub league in Devon and has never done the decathalon.
