I went to school with Brian Cookson - he was a year or two younger than me and was a decent lad back in those days. Haven't seen him for quite a while but he's certainly put his (unpaid) time into British Cycling over the years from the grass roots up to his current role as President of B. C. Since he took on the role, British Cycling have done a pretty good job at winning things and there's been a huge boom in cycling in the UK in recent years.
Would be nice to see him take on the job and give it a good go. Chris Hoy and Seb Coe seem to think so too.
