About George McNeill

George McNeill might have been the first Scot to win an Olympic gold in the 100 metres.

Unfortunately, because he received wages as a footballer he was deemed ineligible under the amateur rules of the time.

Forced onto the professional circuit, he won two of the most famous professional sprint races in the world: Scotland’s Powderhall Sprint and Australia’s Stawell Gift.

On January 1 1971, in Edinburgh, he ran 110 metres in 11.00 seconds, which equates to around 10 seconds for the more popular 100 metres. In 1972, he defeated Olympic gold medallist Tommie Smith, in a four-race series and was crowned world professional sprint champion.

As a frequent guest at numerous dinners, George found he had a talent for after dinner speaking and has now become one of the most popular speakers throughout UK and now touring Australia

He is a superb speaker with great comic timing and a marvellous collection of hilarious anecdotes, covering a wide range of topics, definitely will entertain your audience.
