You're listening to Who's Tom and Dick, a weekly podcast with your host, Martin Weavers,

fighting states for lung cancer, and Patrick Mortimer, living with heart disease.

Why not grab yourself a cup of coffee?

Sit back and enjoy the chatter as we discuss and share information talking about tough subjects

and offering help, support and motivation with a positive mental attitude.

Good morning, everybody, and welcome to this week's edition of Who's Tom and Dick,

and I'm joined by my mate Martin again. I'm Martin, how are you?

Yeah, good morning, everybody, and good morning to you, Patrick, too. And this, well, it's a bit drizzly morning, isn't it? But not very nice, but we should expect it now in November. Well, yeah, that's true. We didn't have too bad a summer, but yeah, it could have been

a bit warmer, but never mind. Looking forward to the interview today. Yeah, we're joined by a very

special guest. One of had the pleasure of meeting before, and I found it very, very interesting.

I'm sure our listeners will find it the same. Today, we're joined by a double Olympian athlete, a sports administrator,

and also an author. Please welcome to who's Tom and Dick, Bill Tancred. Good morning, Bill.

Good morning, Patrick. Good morning, Bill. It's a pleasure to be on your show.

Thank you very much for the grant to join us.

Thank you.

Bill, if you could just give us sort of a brief history of your life, that would be great to kick us off.

Yes, I've, well, I'm going to go back a few years because I'm now 83.

Wow.

I'll go back and from them.

You don't look it.

Oh, you're very kind.

Well, I started my athletics career, I suppose, when I was about 14, 14 years of age.
