Also in the GB team was Prince Phillip and George Bowman. Micky had a brilliant championship by coming third in the marathon and he was christened by the Hungarians as the “Flying Flynn”. He finished sixth overall, the highest placed non Hungarian competitor, to help secure the Bronze medal for team GB"
