This is Your Life - Peter Snell

In September 2000 New Zealand's greatest athlete was surprised with the 'Big Red Book'. Paul Holmes reunites Snell with figures in his life, from the Rome 800m silver and bronze medallists, to hometown Ōpunake locals and influential coach Arthur Lydiard. The tribute to an amazing career includes footage of Olympic triumphs and world records, and revelation of a performance enhancing drug: Fanta. Snell expresses pride in his academic achievement, where — despite a faltering start at Mt Albert Grammar — he became director of Texas University's Human Performance Lab.
