I was 20 - I remember a lot about that Olympics. So much fun. I loved that dingbat Eddie the Eagle. Sat on the edge of the couch holding my breath for both Orser and Manley's competitions. One of my uncles volunteered for the games - he still has his jacket and has a lot of stories to tell.
There's some free stuff going on at the Oval tomorrow - here's a couple of links:

You were 20? Hmmmmm that would make you 45 now
Eddie the Eagle did draw a mass of media attention with his coke bottle lenses and all. Quite the friendly chap who loved to do interviews. IIRC he was amazed with all the attention he was recieving.
