"Michael David Edwards (born 5 December 1963),[1] better known as Eddie the Eagle, is an English ski jumper and Olympian who in 1988 became the first competitor to represent Great Britain in Olympic ski jumping. Despite finishing last in the Normal Hill and Large Hill events, he held the British ski jumping record from 1988 to 2001. He also took part in amateur speed skiing, running at 106.8 km/h (66.4 mph), and became a stunt jumping world record holder for jumping over 6 buses.
In 2016, he was portrayed by Taron Egerton and Tom and Jack Costello in the biographical film Eddie the Eagle."
The entire world Olympic viewing public was aware of Eddie. Love him or hate him, you couldn't ignore him. I thought he was great for the sport, and desperately wanted him to succeed and, in his own way, he did. 
Love ya', Eddie!
