1992 Derek Redmond’s Dad, Barcelona Olympic Games

Be prepared to cast a tear, during this highly moving video (2.5 mins)

And then you simply have to watch Derek Redmond, many years later, telling me about his Dad’s famous Sausage Story Story (below). I was delighted to meet Derek. He was such a decent guy – brimming with enthusiasm and still to this day, so proud of his Dad, that he tells this amazing little life changing story which I captured on video.

Watch Derek Redmond’s Dad’s Sausage Story . It’s only 3 minutes but it is brilliant. Please do post a comment – even if it is only ‘Great Video’ or whatever. Please also share this video. This really helps this sportsmanship campaign. Thanks.
