MBE FOR RECOGNITION
He says he received his MBE as much for his campaigning as his sporting achievement. "As early as 1985 I was arguing about access to sport and recognition of athletes, access to participation and all sorts of things, as a political issue, not just as a sports sort of nice thing. That was the whole point. I received my MBE in 1988 which was for services to disability sport, but was primarily about the fact I had been arguing and fighting for equality of recognition."
