Without a doubt, one of the greatest athletes that Great Britain has ever produced, Colin called time on his outstanding athletics career in front of an adoring home crowd at the World Indoor Championships in Birmingham in 2003. After more than a decade spent at the very pinnacle of his sport, it was a fitting end to a glittering career. 110m hurdler, Colin ranked in the world top 10 for 16 years, was World No.1 from 1992-1994 and, for the last 7 years of his career, was never out of the world’s top 3 and since setting a European junior record of 13.44 in 1986, went on to set 7 European, 8 Commonwealth and 9 UK records at 110mh.
Colin is one of the most respected and loved of all British sports stars and his down to earth, approachable manner has endeared him to both public and media alike. His effervescent nature and irrepressible charm make Colin an excellent communicator and, wherever he goes, Colin always receives a very warm welcome. He works closely with a number of children’s' charities, encouraging the young to get more involved in sport and is a fervent supporter of his native Cardiff.
Testimonials
I wanted to say a huge thank you to Colin for his outstanding contribution to the launch of National School Meals Week. He was brilliant from start to finish. Everyone I spoke to commented on how good he was and the way he spoke to all the age groups was brilliant. The catering staff were thrilled to have him help serve the lunches, the PE staff could not believe how enthusiastic all the students were, the headteacher commented on how much the school enjoyed the event, he engaged with the students and had them riveted to their seats and wanting to ask questions, the media loved him and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. I just hope we have the opportunity to do so again.
