...comedian Steve Coogan is to play him in a Hollywood film about his life - and in particular, of course, about his heroic failure at the 1988 Calgary winter Olympics...Eddie, who's now 43, thinks "Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise would have been ideal"...

Here you go.

It's about time. What a fine story that's been neglected. One wonders how "The Eagle" would have done without his glasses.

Meanwhile, was there ever a movie about the Jamaican bobsled team?

Spy two: "The speed skater? Where? Where?"
Yes, it is corny. Make some ethanol from it and run your car.
