One of Scotland’s most famous and outstanding sportsmen and known as "The Flying Scotsman”. Liddell broke the British Record for 100 yards in 1923, and then won Gold in the 400 metres at the 1924 Paris Olympics. His life was immortalised in the film Chariots of Fire where he refused to run in the 100 metres because it was on the Sabbath. He devoted much of his life to the church and spent many years in Northern China as a missionary.
