    "I'll tell ya something, boy," he says laughing and shaking his head at the same time, "whoever takes my Irish records away will have to be either really talented and work really hard, or be really talented and take a lot of drugs."

    Taken from the great article linked below from 2000. How prophetic can you get - maybe Lomabrd even read this!!!!

    That was a great read, thanks for that. Carroll had some rotten luck with injuries over the years, and deserved to race at more major championships.

    Interesting article. Couple of blasts from the past, Ken Nason. I remember the North Mon team won the Schools Cross country Championship with both of them and was it John Murray as well?

    PJ O' Rourke from Newport. Won the National 800 when 18 I think. He was mouthy alright but a beautiful stylish runner. Sadly never fulfilled the potential of his youth.
