Billy Mills - Native American Hero

Available for over a year

In 1964, the Native American Billy Mills pulled off a shock victory in the Olympic 10,000 metres in Tokyo. Mills was virtually unknown and his chances were written off by the TV commentators. He talks to Ashley Byrne about his life story and his famous victory. The programme is a Made In Manchester Production. PHOTO: Billy Mills leading the field at the 1964 Olympics (Associated Press)
