IT'S EDDIE THE LEGAL

0 Comments | Sunday Mirror, Aug 29, 1999

EDDIE the Eagle Edwards was jumping for joy last night after gaining GCSEs in law, maths and physiology.

The 35-year-old ski jumper, famous for coming last at the 1988 Winter Olympics, scored Bs in law and maths and C in physiology.

He now intends to take an Open University law degree and become a solicitor.

Eddie, from Cheltenham, studied for the GCSEs by correspondence course.

It was the first time he had taken exams since leaving school.

He is currently seeking sponsorship to compete in the 2002 Olympics.
