Britain’s greatest ever Olympian, five-times gold medal winner Sir Steve Redgrave will be bringing this year’s Henley Literary festival to a close with the official launch of his new book Inspired: The Greatest Stories in Sport.

‘Citing examples from Brian Clough to Jonny Wilkinson, Redgrave relates some of the sporting tales that spurred him on over a two-decade career which included winning nine rowing World Championships and three Commonwealth Championships,’ reports the Henley Standard.

Then event promises to kick of with a bang and end on a high note.
