… 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
