Synopsis

The golden era of Australian sport boasts a roll call of athletes who went on to become household names. Unstoppable is the story of one Olympic athlete – though you might never have heard of him.Duncan Page, ‘Dunc’, or ‘Pagey’ to his mates, is one of the unsung heroes of that storied generation. From his days as a jackaroo and then bellboy aboard a cruise ship, to lifesaver on strike in the Channel Islands and gun-wielding shenanigans in Texas, wherever he went, Duncan Page never lost his cheerful, hardworking, knockabout nature.He wore the green and gold with great pride, and together with his mates, Don McMiken and Peter Macken, represented Australia in Modern Pentathlon at several World Championships and two Olympics. Never mind they only ran fifth at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics; that’s only part of the story. What happened along the way – now, that’s the real story.This book celebrates a legendary sportsman, who despite crippling setbacks, let nothing stop him from realising his Olympic dreams.
