Locomotive was Zatopek. There was an older 6 miler named Deacon, but not sure if that was a given name or nickname
Charles Jones two time Olympic steepler(56-60) was nicknamed Deacon.
That is what I was thinking, but I figured somebody would come back and scream that he was a football player(as well as a great actor i.e. The Odd Couple)
