David Hemery. Legend from my youth.

Grew up with this show, love it, Brian Jacks, Brian Hooper, John Sherwood, Daley Thompson, David Hemery, Keith Fielding et al. Awesome show. 🌟🌟🌟

Brian Hooper who was British pole vault champion came to our school in 1984 on a project to raise funds for the GB Olympics team. You got your photo taken with him. He was a character. He certainly liked the attention from one section of pupils. Our school was spread over two separate locations and the other part of the school got gymnast Suzanne Dando. I was gutted!

John Conteh, one of only two people left from the cover of wing's 'Band On The Run'

Pleased to hear that a cricketer took part, as cricket is my favourite sport. Tony Greig, a veritable giant all-rounder, now alas no more. I was just four at the time and Play School age. Too young to remember this!

I'll always remember David and Ron,nice blokes.

that was brilliant, thank you

You can’t help but admire the checked trousers worn by Pickering and Vine - especially with a striped shirt!

Looking at David Hemery you would imagine he would struggle with the weight lifting, him and John Conteh put in some great lifts for men of their bodyweight

When Pickering sets the vertical jump for Channon, its about an inch above his finger tips but for the others he puts it against their fingers. Channon might have come third if it had been done fairly.

AMAZING STUFF, No sports star would be allowed to do this in 2018 because of injury, lol.

Never seen this before but I enjoyed watching it.,. John conteh was a very good physical specimen and he was a good looking guy too....sobering to think 🤔 that David vine Ron Pickering Colin bell and Tony greig have all passed away.....

King colin 💙💙

David Vine was a brilliant presenter

Good sportsmanship from Hemmery to congratulate Conteh like that after the weightlifting

Meet Colin - he's great, he can play football and he's got lovely hair! But... he cant swim.

I remember these days. I saw that the superstars were not wearing protective helmets when playing cricket, cycling, e.t.c. as they would today even if their sponsors permitted it.

That isn't the usual "Superstars" theme tune.....definite elements of "Starsky And Hutch" ,there....!!

Didn’t know Rodney Trotter ever competed in Superstars😂

Why was Hemery fourth in the pistol shooting. I thought that he had won it

David Vine shows why you shouldn't mix checked slacks with striped shirt.

The distance between the penalty spot and the goal line looks very short but regardless Peter Shilton, who was possibly the best goalkeeper who ever lived, must have regretted his participation in this.

'Soccer striker...'

What was the sailor doing there...hahaha

Alan Partridge

hemerys dips look lower than contehs...

Cricket?? And Jumping?? Really?? Why was Hemry not allowed to run the 100 metres? Sprinting wasn't his sport... He runs the steeple chase?? Which is his sport?? Duh?? He was allowed to run in a later episode and won! I was looking forward to seeing him run!
