Robert Champion CBE (born 4 June 1948) is an English former jump jockey, who won the 1981 Grand National on Aldaniti. His triumph, while recovering from cancer, was made into the 1984 film Champions, with John Hurt portraying Champion. The film is based on Champion's book Champion's Story, which he wrote with close friend, racing journalist and broadcaster Jonathan Powell. More about Bob Champion

Champion was born in Sussex, but very soon after his birth the family moved to Guisborough in the North Riding of Yorkshire. In July 1979, at the height of his career as a jockey, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He was treated with an orchidectomy and with the chemotherapeutic drugs bleomycin, vinblastine and cisplatin, and also had an exploratory operation to identify cancer in his lymph nodes. His victory on Aldaniti was viewed by many as a great triumph, following his adversity. Their victory in the Grand National earned them that year's BBC Sports Personality of the Year Team Award, and was chosen by Channel 4 viewers in 2002 as one of the 100 Greatest Sporting Moments.In total, we tracked 167 items since 01/09/2012.
