June 9th 1985, and Coe is representing his club, Haringey, as they compete in the European Clubs Trophy at Haringey's home track.
The day before he won the 1500m in 3:47.27, beating Jose Abascal, the Olympic bronze medallist from LA the year before, by almost a second.
The following day he won the 800m in 1:48.37, without pushing too hard. He would return an hour or so later to anchor his team with a 47.2 split in the 4 x 400m relay.
He was in good, if not vintage, form early in 1985, but a week after this run he was to get an injury which stopped him training for 5 weeks. This loss of training, together with a back injury that was niggling him throughout the rest of the season, resulted in a somewhat truncated season and an anti climax after the magnificent form showed at the end of the 84 season.
