Newcastle Utd - Malcolm Macdonald Superstars Sprint 1975 - Rotterdam 

And then dropped by Don Revie

For women maybe....

@It’s in the trees “Supermac ran even faster, clocking up an incredible 10.9 seconds, a Superstars record - and quick enough to be an Olympic qualifying time that year.”

@@misfit2022 Please tell - when did you see any male athlete at the Olympics run a 10.9 for a 100? Looking at Power of 10 rankings for last year, 10.9 would have put Supermac at joint 256th in the UK rankings. How much different do you think it would have been in the 1970's? 10.9 is very quick for a footballer, but this comparison to track athletes is ridiculous....

​@@itsinthetreesitscoming7431maybe now but not back then

@@kcl4364 It was the 1970s, not the 1870's.

hahaha 10.11 is a 'snail time' is it. Know nothing pal.

@@itsinthetreesitscoming7431 by modern day standards it is!

@@paulswords3705 I won't even bother to point out the obvious response to that. I'd rather leave you to your stupidity.

@@paulswords3705 Only McDonald wasn't running it by 'modern day standards' was he? In fact he ran this race several years before Wells became Olympic Champion! I don't think you have any idea just how fast 10.1 for 100 metres is.

when McDonald ran 10.9 seconds Alan Welles was struggling to break 11 seconds for the 100m in 1976 the year that this programme was made approximately. My argument is that with proper training and coaching, diet, and time devoted to the event etc he could have at least threatened the British record which was a very average time.

Handicap

@@dneilmusic1434 Disabled?

Yes but he didn't need it.

The rest needed a head start to have any chance of beating supermac
