Who's the Briggo with these? Not the NZ four time world champion, surely? He must be 80 years old by now. His son? I'm confused. Help needed  |

The legendary Barry Briggs isn't quite 80, but he'd heading in that direction - he'll be 74-years-old in December, I think.
As for his son Tony Briggs, well he started his career with Reading in 1980 but retired after a near-fatal crash at Coventry in 1981 in which he broke his neck. But even Tony Briggs is now 46-years-old.

And the "wonder wheel", apparently. He's a regular Thomas Edison, is Mr Briggs Snr.

Interestingly, I came across an interview with Tony Briggs, who looks more and more like his legendary father, while watching the following Ekstraliga meeting: www.itvp.pl/player.html?mode=0&channel=452&video_id=34316The interview, which just lasts a few minutes, is around about an hour into the meeting. |
