genius,incredible - sporting man of the last century, his influence is immersurable an it will continue for many generations.
I watched it. Highlight of Christmas TV for me. I got his autograph at The Curragh the day he and Lester unveiled the Nijinsky statue.
Young Lester quite similar in appearance to a comedian/jockey imo.
For anyone who missed this documentary.
It is available to view on the RTE website.
