Two more added to Wolverhampton Sporting Hall of Fame
They are an inspiration to the sporting generation today.
A world record breaking sprinter and an Olympic cyclist - both born, raised and trained in the Black Country.
And now Professor Peter Radford and Trevor Gadd have been recognised with inductions to Wolverhampton's Sporting Hall of Fame.
At a ceremony at Wolverhampton's Aldersley Stadium the pair's named for unveiled on a board which also features the likes of Denise Lewis, Bert Williams and Billy Wright.
The sporting venue was where Prof Radford achieved his world record for the 200 yards in 1960, completing it in 20.5 seconds in the Staffordshire Track and Field Championships.
He would go on and get the bronze medal at the Olympics Games in Rome in the same year.
He picked up golds at the Commonwealth Games in 1958 and 1962 in the 4 x 110yards relay.
Born in Walsall and educated at Tettenhall College, he was a member of Birchfield Athletic Club which trained at Aldersley Stadium, a place he regarded as his home.
Prof Radford, who is aged 78 and now lives in Burford in Oxfordshire, said: "It is a great satisfaction for me to be named in the hall of fame and if I am to inspire others, for me that is a win.
"I want young athletes to see that with determination and a bit of luck they can succeed while using local facilities."
Trevor Gadd, aged 65, flew from Canada for the ceremony where he now lives.
He was known as the 'Coven Kid' as a youngster, getting up at 6am in the morning to deliver a paper round every morning.
But he moved away from cycling to try karate, discus throwing and boxing, only to come back aged 23.
He joined the Wolverhampton Wheelers, getting bronze at the British National Championships in 1975 and then going to the Montreal Olympics.
Three years later, after failing to get make the British team for the European Indoor Championships, he paid for himself to go to the event in East Berlin, picking up the silver medal in the sprint.
He said: "I'm delighted to be included in the hall of fame. Its a proud moment for a boy from Wolverhampton."
