Michael "Eddie" Edwards, aka "Eddie the Eagle, was born on 5th of December 1963 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. A good downhill skier, he narrowly missed the Great Britain team for that event for the 1984 Games.

He became the British ski jumping record holder, ninth in amateur speed skiing, (106.8 mph (171.9 km/h)) and a stunt jumping world record holder for jumping over 6 buses.
