John Disley

And like, why do they want to chat with you? He's just my dad.

Um, so I think it was more, we did so many things, whether it was, um, he and John Disley bought or in tearing into this country.

Yeah.

Um, and as a kid, I used to go around or in tearing events and we had a camper van and, um, sort of doing these slightly crazy things.

And I think that's what my parents taught me more than anything else, which was, you know, my father, when he won his Olympic gold medal, he was not the number one ranked athlete in the race.

He wasn't even the number one ranked British athlete in the race.

John Disley was.

John Disley had won this bronze medal in the 1952 Olympics.

Look, I mean, it, it meant a huge amount, uh, in a strange way because I think that, um...

Look, he was the co-founder of the, of the London Marathon with, with, um, John Disley.

And, uh, he would actually say that w- what he did in the four-minute mile, lots of athletes could have done.

Uh, he went through 800 meters in 1 minute 50, uh, 57.
