Tony McCall (pictured above by Graham McIndoe running in the 1986 Tom Scott Road Race) was a highly respected runner over many decades and he ran in everything that counted in the country – and in many races that didn’t spring immediately to mind!   The following photographs all come from his collection: it is only fitting that we start with Tony leading the way up a hill in the Luddon Half Marathon.

We follow that one with four pictures from the Glasgow 800 Road Race in 1986
