Sir Steve Redgrave - sporting hero

I've mentioned before elsewhere in this blog, but one of the enormous benefits of our profession is that we often get to meet some incredible people. Not all of them are 'famous' but just nice interesting people.

However yesterday (Friday, 16th October 2009) we had the opportunity to meet and photograph someone who is not just extremely famous and talented but a really nice person too - a winning combination.

I am of course, talking about 5 times Olympic Gold Medallist, Sir Steve Redgrave CBE.

The occasion was his attendance at the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) Annual Congress at the BT Convention Centre in Liverpool where he gave the Founder's Lecture. He was an interesting and well informed speaker and his lecture went down very well with the 1200 delegates.

Here are a few photographs taken of Sir Steve during his lecture
