John Moogan obituary
My partner’s father, John Moogan, who has died aged 85, was a PE instructor, headteacher and international javelin coach.
John attended two Olympic Games as a coach, first with Tessa Sanderson in Montreal in 1976 and then in Los Angeles in 1984 with Sharon Gibson. He also took Sanderson to the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton, Canada, where she won gold, and the European championships the same year, where she gained silver. From 1985 to 1988 John was Great Britain’s national coach for javelin.
