There was a female Scottish athlete called Lee McConnell that I managed to watch her doing a New Year message when I switched over to BBC Two Scotland on my Sky Digibox on New Year's Day 2011 - she was doing the annual Resolutions message for BBC Scotland while other parts of the UK got Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams doing his New Year message that I saw earlier on BBC One. Her appearance on screen was fantastic!

I wrote to the Scottish Athletics Association soon afterwards, saying that I was huge fan of McConnell and asked for an agents' address so that I could send her a picture to be autographed. They responded, my picture went in the post and came back signed a couple of weeks later - I bet that she was surprised that I was watching BBC Two Scotland as far south as the East Midlands as well!

You guys probably do not know of these Aussies women.
Margaret Court, Evonne Goolagong (tennis)
Heather McKay (squash)
"The Golden Girl" Betty Cuthbert, Marjorie Jackson (athletics)
Dawn Fraser (swimming)

I know of Margaret Court and remember watching Yvonne Goolagong on TV in the 70s.

Dawn Fraser, yes I have heard of her, and didn't they make a film of her life?

I got out my recording of that New Year Message today and watched it again. She was born in 1978 just like myself.

Michelle Jenneke. She look great but sadly her talent does not match her beauty. But what a bod.

Yes they did make a bio-pic of Dawn. Called Dawn from memory. The most amazing and least known of all those athletes was Heather McKay. This squash phenomenon won the British Open.. considered the unofficial world championship ..an incredible 16 successive times. She was undefeated at world level from 1962 until her retirement in 1981.. 19 years!!!
