Lord Smythe

Being the shy and introvert guy that he is, he hasn't mentioned his little adventure coming up on the 21st., so I thought I would give it a little publicity.

Starting at midnight at St James Park, he will be running to The Stadium of Light, then on to Victoria Park, and then completing the set by going on to the Riverside, and turning around to be back in time for kick off against Burton Albion. A total of 65 miles. He is raising money for both the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation and the Finlay Cooper Fund, and has set a target of £2013. So if you haven't already done so take at look at this http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundrai ... Smythe1908 and get into the ground early enough a week on Saturday to give him a big round of applause, as I'm sure he will complete this incredible run, equivalent to 2.5 marathons!!

Thank you Billingham Poolie for the mention! Everything you said is true that is what I shall be attempting to do and hopefully all in the name of charity Finlay Cooper Fund ...a charity close to Hartlepool United as you all know and Sir Bobby Robson Foundation a charity close to all football fans I'm hoping to raise well beyond my target figure if possible! So hopefully I can count on you Poolie Bunkerites to throw a few quid into the coffers!

Mr Elkots I'm glad someone listen to Radio Tees and MonkeyButt keep on eating those marathons awesome effort! :D

Can we arrange via Mr Nobby for a collection bucket behind the bar in the Mill House? If so I will pop some money in and I'm sure plenty others will too.

Incredible shout this. Article in Mail says he's never missed a day running since Jan 1 2007? What's the story I remember him from Pools from years ago and am certain he liked a pie and a few pints back in the dizzle. Is he now T Total? Whats his athletic history like? And what pushes a man towards these Forrest Gump-esque feats of endurance?

BillinghamPoolie · **Posted:** Tue Dec 17, 2013 9:10 pm

Definitely not teetotal, I believe a pint of Guinness is his drink of preference, and as he is built like a whippet after running every day for nearly 7 years, can pretty much eat what he fancies.

Smythe had a pie and a pint in his hand the last time I saw him a fortnight ago!!!!

Spender · **Posted:** Thu Dec 19, 2013 5:09 pm

Doesn't he spill it when he's running though??

Just a reminder that if anybody is out and about tomorrow dont forget that we are trying to raise some cash for this monumental feat of human endurance clappp

. the bucket is behind the bar in the Millhouse , as it will be untill after the match on new years day. so thats 2 weeks for us lot to show our appreciation, rolf

Ran about 6k with him at 7am this morning, as I write this he is nearly at Middlesbroughs Riverside Stadium, he's in good spirits and health and absolutely FLYING!!! Bet yer he's at The Vic by 12.30. What a guy, over 3 grand raised so far too!

Spender · **Posted:** Sat Dec 21, 2013 6:04 pm

Always leave a little bit in the tank for a lap of honour think it must have been the power from my leopard skin dockers under the Superman suit
