*Apologies to all Gordon Bennetts everywhere


Gordon Bennett of course being a renowned extreme skier from the golden era of extreme skiing (a Wednesday afternoon in August 1989) who found fame after an on-sight descent of the third floor staircase at the Covent Garden Snow and Rock, notoriety followed as witnesses claimed he'd rested on a banister near the top of the second flight of stairs and, a broken man, Gordon is to this day a toilet cleaner in Andorra.

Despite living in Andorra Gordon is an avid fan of sports, his favourite football team is Plymouth Argyll. Here is a photo of a recent trip back home:

I do think it was firmly on the rails, once...now it's gone over the top and is streaking across the pitch, in a shameless display of exuberance :D

Bennett, of the Hertfordshire Bennett family, was one of the first people to systematically study ski movement,,,, and in his seminal book "my little skiiy weey booky wooky" famously observed, "it's a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune can quickly lose it skiing"
