I was there! I'd run in the mile heats the night before and as I didn't make the final it was a pleasure to stay for the Saturday and witness this fantastic achievement.
Ron Clarke was a phenomenal track athlete. He was very dedicated to his training and had considerable longevity as well as accomplishment at various distances. It's a shame that his abilities were tarnished by the media due to his never winning Olympic gold.
It's in 1965 in London - not 1963 or 1964 in Melbourne.
