Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers Club Hoody, information on how to buy one
BOB PARKER – It is with great regret to report that former Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers Club President, BOB PARKER aged 87, passed away peacefully last Saturday 20 January at his home in North Harrow.
BOB was an exceptional man who always on hand to give advice when asked, and as a talented coach who was behind the success achieved by former World Record Holder, DAVE BEDFORD and many other SBH members. He was Shaftesbury President from 1980 to 1982, and he told me that was one of the most enjoyable 3 years in Athletics.
DAVE sent me the following – I joined Shaftesbury Harriers in 1964 and he started coaching me in 1965. Always called me Boy, still did to the end! BOB became a second father and SYLVIA a 2nd Mother and in truth they had more influence on my development and life than my parents! BOB had previously coached some of the older Shaftesbury lads and he was still racing himself. I do remember him running the Poly Marathon in the late 60’s with me supporting him on a push bike. Up until the 1970’s he was still warming up and down with me at training sessions and overseeing fartlek sessions on Hampstead Heath. Twice each week in winter we would train from his house in North Harrow. Sometimes there were 5 to 20 in the house. He worked full time and often I would meet him during his lunch break to discuss training and injuries! BOB drove me and others to races including “pot hunting” events to Paignton and Torquay. He was always there for all his athletes, each of them will tell you the same. KEITH MCKAY, JULIAN GOATER, ALLISON WYETH, ANDREA WHITCOMBE and MARA YAMAUCHI plus dozens more. Where he got the energy from no one knows.
I have never heard anyone say a bad word about BOB. I had my first beer with him (date not given on purpose) and I will certainly have my last still thinking of him ever grateful for his love, care and friendship. Was he a good coach…. when I stared being coached by him I was the 73rd best junior in the English Schools XC Champs and 9 years later broke the World record for 10,000m.
His home town was Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, during his teenage years he moved and lived/worked in North London where he trained at the Maccabi Stadium Hendon in the 1950’s/1960’s. He then met SYLVIA, and after they Married they bought a Maisonette in Belmont, Harrow. TONY SUNDERLAND recalls, that from here a group of us started meeting weekly in the Winter to train on the roads, (at this time he owned a MG sports car to the envy of all of us all, they then bought his current house in North Harrow and he always maintained that he had to sell the MG to help finance the purchase).
The training group used to number from 8 to 10 of us including some from other clubs (Ealing/Valley etc) it was from this group that BOB started coaching and his first Athlete he trained was Keith McKay the rest as they say is history.
BOB joined the Club in around 1951/2 in the 440yds and 880yds on the track, his best times were 51seconds and 1.57 respectively. In addition to Track running for Buckinghamshire and Shaftesbury he ran over the Country and Road, (running a leg in some of the London to Brighton relay Club teams in 1950’s/1960’s). Some of his achievements included – Buckinghamshire Senior 880 yards Champion on many occasions during the 1950’s and 1960’s, Buckinghamshire Senior Cross country Champs – 1st 1962 and 1963, 2nd 1956, 3rd 1957 and 1959, Shaftesbury Junior Cross Country Champs in 1951 and Shaftesbury Senior Cross Country Champs – 5 miles in 1963 and 9 miles in 1964.
BOB and SYLVIA were instrumental in forming in the late 1980s, one of the most successful female Athletic Club of recent years, Parkside Harrow. They dominated the 1990s with no less than 4 National Cross Country Champions – Andrea Whitcombe 1990, 1991 and 1997, Katy McCandless 1995, Alison Wyeth 1996 and Mara Myers (Now Yamauchi) 1998. They also were National Team Winners for 8 consecutive years from 1989 to 1996.
BOB’S funeral is on Wednesday 7th February at 11.00am at Hendon Cemetery and Crematorium, Holders Hill Road, South Chapel.
