Tommy has had an interesting career- starting running after being made redundant during the depression in Ireland in the 80's, and coaching himself to a spot at the 1992 Olympics. After retiring in the last 90's, Tommy has made an emphatic return to the sport, and has run a sub 2.30 Marathon in every decade since the 1980's.
