LISBURN woman Dame Mary Peters, along with the sports mad Brennan family from Drumbo, are to appear in the front of the new BT Olympic phone book which celebrates two years to the start of the London 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Dame Mary, who won Gold in the Pentathlon in the 1972 Munich Games, is among a host of leading athletes who will take pole position on the cover of BT's new phone books across the UK to mark the occasion.
Official
BT is the official communications services partner for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The Phone Book will include London 2012 information specific to each region.
It will also be able to claim another first - the first new size compact edition delivered in Northern Ireland.
Excitement
Narrow enough to fit into standard-sized letter boxes it will be delivered to residents and local businesses in Northern Ireland from this week.
Dame Mary said: "Featuring sporting personalities on the cover of the Phone Book is a great idea and will help raise the profile of the London 2012 Games in Northern Ireland. Hopefully the excitement to London 2012 will build from here."
