‘I used to compete in the 110m hurdles but didn’t have enough space to train as we lived on top of a very steep hill,’ he said.
‘My dad built me a single hurdle out of timber and I used the 15 meter driveway we had to practice over and over again.’
‘Just he and I till the sun went down having fun, having a laugh. I got 2 state medals with his help. Here we are 25 years on still laughing and still moving.
