Herb Elliott is rightfully considered one of Australia's greatest ever athletes.

What is amazing is that he competed in one Olympic Games only, and had retired by 22 years of age.

In that time, he ran 44 times in races over the mile or 1500m and was undefeated.

In doing so, he set multiple world records.

After athletics he went on to have a successful business career.

Herb Elliott attributes much of his success to his eccentric coach - Percy Cerutty and there is reference to Percy in this episode.

Trust you enjoy the episode.

For now, that's stumps. Thank you linesman, thank you Hawk eye.
