Classic Telfer Blunder

Andrew H 2 years ago

This morning just before 9 on radiosport... Telfer proclaims that Lydiard always said "no pain no gain"... Sent in my daily text but he was adamant, "train dont strain" was only for joggers he reckons

Another great one from Telfer debating what nutrition tennis players are using "some sort of sorbet squeezed from a plastic sachet" - and this guy still commentates on 21st Century sport? - dc

Arthur Lydiard video on YouTube

At 1:23 on the above video link they have used the quot;Train, dont Strainquot; quote and attributed it to Lydiard. Perhaps you could send that link to Telfer?

Ventura was way better still not saying much though in Predator.

Peter Williams is a legend. He is to sports broadcasting as Jim Hickey is to the weather as Gus Taylor is to youtube reviews of assorted paraphenalia.

The worrying thing is that Telfer is better than some of the other ignoramuses that could be foisted upon us. Telfer no doubt believes hes an expert, and doesnt bother to refresh his memory.

Its a shame Peter Williams punishment for drink driving is doing breakfast TV because he was a decent sports presenter and commenter. Not an expert in athletics by any means, but he seemed to prepare when he was doing commentary.

knowing that Telfer passes himself off as an expert on running / athletics and golf, makes me immediately doubt everything he says in regards to golf.

Sounds more like Jesse quot;The Bodyquot; Ventura in the Running Man. Telf thinks he know everything about Athletics but he knows shit.
