It is with immense sadness that we have to tell you that Ken Livermore, one of the Club’s prolific Walkers for Great Britain and Enfield & Haringey has passed away.

Ken was a wonderful character and has had an amazing career across the sport that he loved and cherished. He has done it all as an athlete, coach, official and a great organiser.

… I was very sad to learn of the passing of Ken Livermore (C386). He was the ultimate clubman and racer (from 3km to 100 miles) … what an example to the younger generation … he adored his sportand regulatrly raced. Thankfully some of what he achieved is recorded. A member of Enfield Harriers he will be missed … Adrian James
… Very sad news! Ken was a top race walking coach in the early 60’s. I vividly remember him at Eton Manor on the first ocasion I went on a coaching weekend with many stars including Olympic Gold Merdallist from Rome Don Thompson and the likes of G B’s late Robbie Brightwell and the late John Cooper were there. He will be so missed by the Race Walking Fraternity as he gave so much in so many ways during his lifetime. May he rest in peace. Sincere condoloscences to Margaret, Coral and his family … Bill and Kath Sutherland

… Sincere condolences to Ken’s family. The Leicester to Skegness was the one I competed in with Ken. I fondly recall a converstaion with Ken and admired his quiet determination to become a Centurion. I regret to this day that I never stayed with him to finish the course. May he rest in peace having finished the course of life and rise in glory. Roy Lodge
