who did Havant proud. Never heard of Tommy Green
or Henry Taylor? Does Richard Burnell or Bert Bushnell
light your Olympic flame? Henry Taylor had the rare
honour of winning three Olympic Gold Medals at the
1908 London Games: a triumph not repeated by a
Great Britain competitor until Sir Chris Hoy in 2008.
