  • The Longevity of Sporting Legends
    The longevity of sporting legends Note on the author Professor Les Mayhew is Head of Global Research at the International Longevity Centre UK (ILC) and a professor of statistics at the Business School (formerly Cass), City, University of London in the Faculty of Actuarial Science and Insurance. He is an Honorary Fellow of the Faculty of Actuaries and a member of the Royal Economic Society. He is a former senior civil servant in the Department of Health and Social Security, Department of Social Security, Treasury and a Director in the Office for National Statistics. He loves sport although his only ever notable success was winning the Civil Service mixed tennis doubles – an achievement which now seems ancient history. His interest in statistics was kindled by keeping score for his dad’s cricket team at a very young age. He also confesses to supporting a well-known premier league football team but refuses to say which one to avoid accusations of bias! Acknowledgements ILC UK is grateful to the Business school (formerly Cass) for supporting this research and for the many useful conversations the author has had with like-minded sports enthusiasts.

He started out as a flyweight, aged 14, boxing at the old Judaean Club near Cable Street, St George's, and boxed the world over against the very best men at virtually every weight. He also promoted regularly at Premierland in Whitechapel and was a household name throught Great Britain. He won the British featherweight title aged 17 and departed almost immediately to Australia, from where he journeyed to the United States, where he really made his name.

  • The Longevity of Sporting Legends Note on the Author
    The longevity of sporting legends Note on the author Professor Les Mayhew is Head of Global Research at the International Longevity Centre UK (ILC) and a professor of statistics at the Business School (formerly Cass), City, University of London in the Faculty of Actuarial Science and Insurance. He is an Honorary Fellow of the Faculty of Actuaries and a member of the Royal Economic Society. He is a former senior civil servant in the Department of Health and Social Security, Department of Social Security, Treasury and a Director in the Office for National Statistics. He loves sport although his only ever notable success was winning the Civil Service mixed tennis doubles – an achievement which now seems ancient history. His interest in statistics was kindled by keeping score for his dad’s cricket team at a very young age. He also confesses to supporting a well-known premier league football team but refuses to say which one to avoid accusations of bias! Acknowledgements ILC UK is grateful to the Business school (formerly Cass) for supporting this research and for the many useful conversations the author has had with like-minded sports enthusiasts.
