Not in Hall of Fame If it's not in the Hall of Fame, it's at Not in Hall of Fame

2023 Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame - Round 1

Harry Hayes

TV Show/Movie Appeared: The Games (1970)
Actor/Actress: Michael Crawford
Played For:: The United Kingdom
Why you should vote:: We thought Hayes was a nice blend of power and pathetic. We don’t exactly mean that as an insult.
Why you should not vote:: Not only did not win, he was berated by his coach, didn’t place, and as it turns out, is not related to Austin Powers.
There was something likable about Harry Hayes, the British representative in the 1970 film, “The Games”. Maybe it was because on the naïve side or maybe it was because we viewed him as a distant cousin to Austin Powers. We know this much; even though we knew he wasn’t going to run that two hour Marathon, we couldn’t help but wish he could.
