Green attended Walton Grammar School and worked as an advertising assistant.[1]
He came to sprinting late, having previously divided his time between other sporting interests including squash, badminton, and hockey.
Sprinting career
Standing at 5 ft 5 in (1.65 m) Green was once told he was too short to be a sprinter. Despite this, at the age of 31, Green became the fastest man in Britain, recording a time of 10.1 seconds in Bratislava.[2]
Green competed in the 1972 Summer Olympics.[3] He represented England and won a bronze medallist at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games in the 4×100 metres relay.[4][5][6][7] He represented England in the sprint events, at the 1974 British Commonwealth Games in Christchurch, New Zealand[8][9] and represented England in the 100 metres and 100 metres relay events, at the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.[10]
