Brian Green

Brian William Green (born 15 May 1941 in Ormskirk) is a British former sprinter.

Green attended Walton Grammar School and worked as an advertising assistant.

He came to sprinting late, having previously divided his time between other sporting interests including squash, badminton and hockey.

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.

Green competed in the 1972 Summer Olympics. He represented England and won a bronze medallist at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games in the 4×100 metres relay. He represented England in the sprint events, at the 1974 British Commonwealth Games in Christchurch, New Zealand and represented England in the 100 metres and 100 metres relay events, at the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
