Who?
Peter Norman was the silver medallist who placed between John Carlos and Tommie Smith at the 1968 Olympics.
As everyone knows, during the medal ceremony Smith and Carlos gave the "black power salute".
Norman supported the two athletes by wearing a human rights badge.
I for one am saddened by the loss, he wasn't a household name but, however subtle, he is a part of history.
