Bruce was one of my childhood heroes. Remember getting a poster from him that he signed when I did athletics in Primary school at UPE. My mom and dad both did the comrades for years, and my mom just loved him. She had cancer and ran her last marathon weeks before she died in 1993

To be honest as a Brit I've only heard of Bruce via RMR. But what a fascinating interview and what an inspirational man
