 Clifton Bradeley was born in the UK but on his first birthday emigrated to Australia with his family. He ran everywhere as a child and when his family returned to the UK he was soon to be recognised as a promising young schools athlete. His school athletics career culminated in three All-England Schools titles both on the track and cross-country. This included smashing Steve Cram's long-standing senior boys 1500m record. Clifton's 1985 championship record of 3.45.6min/secs still stands to this day. He went on to win silver at 1500m in the world schools games and was set to become a senior Great Britain and England international athlete at the age of nineteen often running along side Steve Ovett and Sebastian Coe. |
