Product Description
Eric Liddell, hero of the film Chariots of Fire, risked becoming a national disgrace at the 1924 Paris Olympics when he refused to run on a Sunday. Disqualifying himself from the finals, Britain's hope of a medal was sacrificed as well. But the thinly veiled criticism in the press turned to a sensational acclaim when Eric entered - and won - a race for which he was completely untrained, finishing a full five meters ahead of the favourite. This story of "God's Athlete" makes for inspiring reading.
