Sir Roger Bannister, the first man to run a sub-four-minute mile has died following a seven year battle with Parkinson's disease. Sir Roger made history in 1954 when he ran a mile in 3 minutes, 59.4 seconds on a track in Oxford. Later that year he won gold over the same distance at the Commonwealth Games. It's likely the Englishman's achievements were an inspiration to a young New Zealand athlete Peter Snell who would win gold over one mile at the Perth Commonwealth games eight years later. Sir Peter joins us from Texas with his memories.
