Do you see Greg admiring his statue?New to this thread ... I live near them. Country life. Yeah there are fields but we’re 5 mins from Milton Keynes. Hardly the Yorkshire Dales.
also I see Greg all the time around snd HE LOVES HIMSELF
and he shops in Waitrose
I heard* he takes a deckchair and sits on the roundabout gazing at it and waving at traffic...Do you see Greg admiring his statue?
as well as having a statue he has his Olympic distance measured out on the green with a plaque. It’s also a pokestop in Pokémon go. He’s a proper local hero. And his photo is in the local Indian restaurant commemorating when he came for his dinner.Do you see Greg admiring his statue?
I appreciate that he was a successful athete, and Olympic gold is no mean feat, but that all seems rather OTT to me. Most gold medalists from 2012 had to make do with a painted postbox!! Goes some way to explaining the over-inflated ego though I supposeas well as having a statue he has his Olympic distance measured out on the green with a plaque. It’s also a pokestop in Pokémon go.

Greg Rutherford wasn’t even particularly popular or hugely well known even at the peak of his career (nearly a decade ago...!) he hasn’t got the charisma or the personality to generate a fan base - compare him to Usain Bolt for example. Worlds apart. Greg is now just a one time has been.I appreciate that he was a successful athete, and Olympic gold is no mean feat, but that all seems rather OTT to me.

I can confirm thisJust to add no one likes them in MK. They find them amusing. Definitely not celebrity status (especially not susie!) albeit most people don't actually know who they are anyway...

He got diddled by his financial advisor- im sure someone has posted that on an earlier thread. They struggled to get any of his money back!I get the impression he had very good guidance/financial advice. I'm sure they mentioned a property portfolio?
Mostly cos nothing ever happens around here!I appreciate that he was a successful athete, and Olympic gold is no mean feat, but that all seems rather OTT to me. Most gold medalists from 2012 had to make do with a painted postbox!! Goes some way to explaining the over-inflated ego though I suppose
they live in one of the villages just on the edge of MK which are really pretty and the most expensive part. Yes there are fields and stuff but it’s 2 mins from the M1.Pre pandemic I went to Milton Keynes a lot for work (I’m a northern lass) and it’s an absolute concrete jungle the furthest away from country life you could imagine
