This is Your Life - John Walker
Television (Full Length Episode) – 1985
You wouldn’t believe what I’ve been through to get here tonight. You know something? I was supposed to be meeting Prince Charles. I’ve even got my speech prepared– John Walker
To my thinking that was the highlight and it ranks at least the equal of Bannister’s first sub four minute mile. John probably did that under more difficult circumstance.– Peter Snell on John Walker’s world record.
