This review is from: Memories of a Fox (Paperback)

Sensational read!

This is a truly inspirational story of a man who overcame unfortunate circumstances to be the world's greatest swimming coach of his time. He coached 52 world records, 9 Olympic Gold medals - included coaching Dawn Fraser to 3 successive Olympic Gold medals in the 1956, 1960 and 1964 games for the 100 Freestyle.

An absolute must read!
