Reg Harris
For generations of Britons, the name Reg Harris has been synonymous with his sport. Five times he won the World Sprint Cycling title, once as an amateur, four times as a 'pro'.

'I competed to win, and if I finished second or third, the medal I received was not a token of achievement, but one marking my failure.' Film cameraman
