The Tough of the Track was The Victors most popular hero having instilled the competitive spirit into millions of British lads for over 50 years. A welder who worked under railway arches Alf Tupper survived on a diet of fish & chips. He was always the underdog running against posh toffs who devised underhand ways of keeping him off the winners rostrum. Although Alf often looked beaten he nearly always came through in the final few strides exclaiming Ive run him!" as he breasted the winning tape in a photo-finish. Published in the year the Olympic Games returns to Britain this nostalgic anthology will not only be the perfect gift for the millions of men whose love of sport was kindled in their youth by Alf Tupper but will also enthrall & inspire a new generation of boys to go & win against all the odds."
