As an enthusiastic reader of the Times of Malta, I would like to congratulate this newspaper on its 80th anniversary. I remember it was more than 50 years ago that I started buying the newspaper and the only period I missed out was in 1974 when I emigrated to England with my family.

During the early 1970s I used to contribute some horse racing snippets in the sports pages, courtesy of the sports editor. Perhaps it’s good to mention that in the issue of March 31, 1973 I had predicted the first three in the Grand National in the right order. The race, won by the great Red Rum, went down in history as the greatest National of all time.

Times of Malta, well done.
