Gordon Horne - December winner
Gordon Horne has been involved with athletics in Coventry for almost 30 years. For all that time he has coached at Coventry Godiva Harriers and been involved with coaching and the organisation of schools' athletics and cross-country.
For the last 10 years, he has volunteered with the International Children's Games, taking young athletes around the world to take part in the Games and experience the different cultures. When the Games were held in Coventry in 2005 he organised and managed the athletics event at the Warwick University track.
As a result of his involvement in the sport, he has played a part in giving many young people the opportunity to realise their ambitions and achieve success. He does all this for his passion and love of athletics and seeing young people fulfil their potential.
Gordon is a 'Cov Kid' and, for his contribution to athletics in the city, thoroughly deserves to be recognised as a Good Citizen of Coventry.
