Greg Smith has been part of a family that has published a small town paper since 1854. His grandfather was a classic newspaper printer (with the belt and braces, plus slightly dodgy "counterfeiter-style" cap). Greg has been a sports nut since he started swimming lessons with his Olympic gold medalist instructor (Joan Harrison) in 1975. Swimming didn't quite work out for him, and since then he's been a nomadic sportsman. He is game for most things once, which just might be the problem!
