Being married to the granddaughter of Arthur James Robertson, I can state that he was never called, in the family, ARCHIE.
Also, Wikipedia states that 55 Gold medals were won at the 1908 Olympic Games. I make it 46.

A total of 46 Gold Medals - the team events counting as one Gold.
- You missed 5 boxing medals, 1 figure skating (which I think WP has missed as well), 1 football, 1 field hockey, and 2 motorboating. That'll give you 56, which is exactly what the IOC says at their website. -- Jonel | Speak 11:37, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
