Charles 'Don' Burnell
Winner of an Olympic gold medal in 1908, long standing member of Leander Club and proud father of Dickie, Don Burnell is concerned his son may be sacrificing gentlemanly standards and the etiquette of sportsmanship in order to win the gold.
Dickie is constantly frustrated by his father鈥檚 dislike of competitiveness and he鈥檚 forced to recognise that if he鈥檚 going to win the gold medal, it will have to be done his way, not Don鈥檚.
