Sir Roger Bannister, who ran the first sub-four-minute mile, and his daughter Erin Bannister Townsend, an artist |
The Sunday Times newspaper reporter, Max Davidson, met up with the now eighty five year young Sir Roger Bannister and his daughter Erin Bannister. He wrote an in-depth article on his life during and after this mile breaking record back in May 6th 1954.
ERIN BANNISTER"You could say I had two fathers: the doctor with his black bag, and the world-famous athlete. And for as long as I can remember, people have recognised him and asked him about four-minute mile. But his fame was never an embarrasment, just a sourse of great pride."
