13 May 2002 Ian Logan Ian Logan was not only a popular and loyal member of A.F.D. he was well liked and known throughout the athletics world. You could not attend any type of race fixture with Ian without bumping into some one Ian knew. Although not quite reaching International recognition, Ian none the less achieved a high level of success on all surfaces, track, road, and cross-country. Ian was an ever-present member of Southern and National 12 stage relay teams of the 70’s, 80’s and early 90’s. Perhaps his most cherished moment was as a member of the AFD cross country team that won the “National” in 1983 with Ian finishing a highly rated 21st. Then being a member of the team that retained the title in 1984 & 85. Ian was an accomplished track runner specialising in the steeplechase but with seriously fasts times over 1500, 3000 & 5000 metres. Which he continued into his first year as a veteran athlete. Such was his enthusiasm for his sport that only 4 months before his untimely death Ian competed for AFD in the National Vets Relay Champs. Ian was diagnosed with lung cancer in August 1997 after what seemed like an innocuous back strain turned out to be much more serious than anyone could have possibly have imagined. Ian had been a member of AFD for 29 years when he died on August 15th 1997 aged 41. With his passing many of us lost a true friend, training & drinking partner, to a terrible disease. Thursday nights down the pub after training has never been quiet the same. Ian is a sorely missed friend who will run forever in our hearts and minds, his memory will be further honoured by “ Logan’s Run”.
