If you are of a certain age you will almost certainly be familiar with Eric Liddell even though you may not recognize the name. Liddell, along with Harold Abrahams, was the subject of the fantastic 1981 film 'Chariots of Fire'. And if you haven't seen the film then you at least know the theme song from it. If you haven't seen 'Chariots of Fire' you definitely should check it out but there is a lot more to Liddell than the two or three years of athletic focus featured in the film. We'll cover the totality of his life on this podcast episode.
Note: Some of the names of people or places in this episode are completely foreign to me. Please excuse any horribly misspoken pronunciations that may appear.
