A talented footballer and rugby player in his youth, Andy Turner made his mark in sprint hurdling against the odds. Despite no international recognition as a junior athlete, he broke through as a senior, making his major championship debut at the Athens Olympics. He felt out of place, but soon found his feet. And despite losing lottery funding, he eventually became European and Commonwealth champion and a World bronze medallist. Since retiring, he enjoyed success in bodybuilding and boxing. He also fondly remembers his long-time coach Lloyd Cowan who passed away prematurely in 2021.
