David Charles "Dave" Ottley (born 5 August 1955 in West Thurrock, Essex) is a retired British athlete who mainly competed in the men's javelin throw event.
He won the AAA National Championship title in the javelin on six occasions.[5]
Personal life
Ottley is referenced In "The Boy Who Cried Rat" episode of Good Morning Miss Bliss, in which Mr. Belding (Dennis Haskins) proclaims that nobody remembers second place, referencing the javelin throw of 1984 Summer Olympics. Miss Bliss however correctly identifies that the silver medallist was indeed Ottley.
Ottley now resides in Shropshire, and has two children.
