		Another giant of a man, but this time from Scotland's sporting archives, is Launceston Elliot, our first gold medallist who at 1896's Athens Olympic Games won the now defunct one-handed lift (along with a proposal of marriage from a 'highly placed lady' in the crowd).
		Weighing in at 16 stones, he was twice the size of another of our sports stars, champion jockey Willie Carson, OBE, who rode 3878 winners and is still the only person to have bred and ridden the winner of a Classic.
