In detail
In Tom's early days teaching he was instantly recognised for his outstanding ability in being able to bring the best out of young athletes. As National Athletics Coach, Tom created several programmes, including the national decathlon programme, which produced Daley Thompson. In 1983-4 he worked with Peter Jay, Michael Parkinson and David Frost to bring into being TV-am, Britain's first commercial breakfast television station. In 2004 he produced the McNab Report on English amateur boxing, whose recommendations he brought to reality in 2005. As a result, in 2008, British boxing experienced its most successful Olympic result of all time.
