He paved the way for Trevor Macdonald

And helped to beat the four.

A world record followed.

He won like Bobby Moore.

Any help on this greatly appreciated. Many thanx

It may be Clive Sullivan, who was the captain of the GB Rugby League team that won the World Cup in (I think) 1970, and was black - it would part explain the first line, and would explain the last.

Alternatively ( and more likely) Gary Sobers.

Chris Chataway - ITN newscaster, pacemaker for Bannister's 4-minute mile, 5,000 m world record, and winner of BBC Sports Personality of the Year, as was Moore later.

Thanks Mike - I would never have got that as never heard of Chris Chataway.

Thanks too Hammond Egg.
