Cardiff-born Colin Jackson was twice world champion at 110m hurdles, but never achieved his dream of winning Olympic gold.
However, Jackson’s silver at the Seoul Olympics in 1988 earned him the title of Welsh sports personality for that year.
Five years later in Stuttgart he took the World Championship title, setting a then-world record of 12.91 seconds, a feat that again earned him the accolade of 1993 BBC Wales Sports Personality.
Six years later, Jackson’s world outdoor and indoor title wins again brought him glory in his homeland.
