	European Athletics - Euro Legends: Week 2 - Eamonn Coghlan (IRL)
		Irish track legend Eamonn Coghlan was dubbed the "Chairman of the Boards" due to his astonishing feats indoors so it was little surprise he struck gold in his one and only European Indoor Championships.
		Coghlan also fondly remembers the reaction on his return to his homeland where he was greeted by a joyous scene.
		His oldest son Eamonn is a golf professional in the US with Michael, 19, an actor on the stage in the UK.

	Coghlan was Millrose's 'Chairman of the Boards' - USATODAY.com (Site not responding. Last check: )
		With six Wanamaker titles, Coghlan was tied with Glenn Cunningham, a great miler in the 1930s after sustaining severely burned legs in a 1916 schoolhouse fire that claimed the life of his brother.
		Ovett was confused with the procedure and approached Coghlan for clarification.
		Coghlan, 54, who lived in Rye, N.Y., when he was competing, now is back in Dublin, where he's a fundraiser for a children's hospital and jogs a few days per week.

		Coghlan was born in Drimnagh, County Dublin, Republic of Ireland.
		Coghlan also set the record for the indoor 2000 meter run at 4:54.07 in 1987 which stood until Haile Gebrselassie of Ethiopia ran 4:52.86 in 1998.
		Coghlan works as director of fundraising and development for Our Lady's Hospital and is a regular panellist on Ireland's television station RTÉ for athletics programs.

	A St. Patrick's Day Toast to Irish Runners Marcus O'Sullivan and Eamonn Coghlan
		Coghlan set the world record in the indoor mile at 3:50.6 in 1981 and again at 3:49.78 in 1983, a record that would stand for 14 years until Morocco's Hicham El Guerrouj ran 3:48.45 in 1997.
		Coghlan was small compared to many of his competitors and perhaps his size gave him a miniscule advantage negotiating the tight turns on the boards indoors.
		Eamonn Coghlan, like so many times before, came flying off on the final turn and sprinted for the tape and, as they say, the rest is history.

	RW Daily News: A Brief Chat With Eamonn Coghlan
		Eamonn Coghlan has won a record seven Wanamaker Miles at the Millrose Games in New York and is among the "legends" being honored this week to mark the 100th Millrose Games on Friday.
		Eamonn Coghlan: Well, there's probably not a day of the week since I last won the Wanamaker Mile, gosh, 20 years ago, that somebody doesn't make reference to the Wanamaker Mile and the Chairman of the Boards.
		The expectations from others were "he's Coghlan's kid, he might come and do something special." Well, he didn't do anything special, but it was a statement to me that he's now coming out of his shell somewhat, and to perform at the Garden, just to experience the atmosphere, said an awful lot for the kid.

	Track & Field News: Lunch With Lagat & Coghlan
		Coghlan, who noted today that Lagat was 6 years old when the meet record was set, saw the results on the internet back home in Ireland, and thought, "It's about time!".
		Coghlan was the first to do it in 1983 when he ran 3:49.78, and that record stood until Hicham El Guerrouj set the current record of 3:48.45 in 1997.
		Just as Coghlan was adopted by New Yorkers as one of their own, Lagat, the winner of three Wanamaker Miles, is quickly reaching that status, but doesn't see himself topping Coghlan's record 7 wins at Millrose.

	Eamonn Coghlan
		Such was Eamonn Coghlan's dominance on the indoor running circuit in the USA, where he had been a student, that he was known by everyone as "Chairman of the Boards".
		Eamonn's love of athletics was such that in 1994 he was still treading the boards and in February, in Boston, USA, ran a mile in 3min.58.15sec.

	4 MINUTES
		From high school kids too young to remember Coghlan's 3:49 to the over-40 coaches who had come to pay homage (and just possibly witness 4 minutes of track history), you could feel the electricity in the air, and the fans increased the voltage many times with their shouting and clapping.
		All Coghlan had to do was marshall his unique repertoire of speed and hunger - the speed of a man half his age, the hunger of a man running for glory.
		Coghlan's legs wobbled, but he held form and ran the seventh lap in 29.38, his fastest since the opener.

		The speech was probably his standard “stump speech” at the time, since he was recently retired, and he hadn’t polished his public speaking skills.
