Robbie Brightwell was captain of the GB team at the i1964 Olympics in Tokyo. He was a 400m runner. He came fourth in the individual 400m; the 4x400 men’s team won silver.
He married Ann Packer-( the surprise GB winner of the individual 800m gold medal ) after the Olympics.
After his own disappointment in the individual 400m he had encouraged the reluctant Ann to run in the 800m.
Both received MBEs in 1965 for their services to athletics.
