2 of 2. A ***VINTAGE*** Reebok Steve Jones Signed & Framed Poster - BECAUSE LIFE IS NOT A SPECTATOR SPORT.

From Wikipedia:

     Stephen Henry Jones MBE (born 4 August 1955) is a Welsh athlete and set the former world record in the marathon, in his first completed race at that distance at the Chicago Marathon in 1984 with 2:08:05.

Dissatisfied with working in a factory as a sewing-machine mechanic, he became an aircraft technician for the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1974, and joined the RAF's running team in 1976.After receiving an invitation to the 1983 Chicago Marathon Jones began training for that distance; he previously had specialized in the 5,000 and 10,000 m, and on 6 Aug 1984, he ran the 1984 Olympic 10,000 m event. He finished 8th with a time of 28:28.08.

On 21 Oct 1984, a year after he had dropped out of the Chicago Marathon because of injury, Jones won the eventhis first completed marathonwith a time of 2:08:05, breaking the world record of Australian Robert de Castella by 13 seconds. Jones was unaware of the record and, since he never wore a watch, did not know that he might break it until two miles before the finish!

This was followed by an extraordinary four years of successes that included a second victory at Chicago (1985), one at London (1985), one at New York (1988), and second to Toshihiko Seko at Boston (1987).

The poster, which I believe depicts his 1984 World Record win at Chicago (although the jersey color is different) is signed by Steve Jones.

The poster is in a metal frame and was framed by Boston Art Framers Picture Framers Gallery, Brookline, MA.

The frame (& poster) measure approx 24" H x 18" W x 3/4" D.
