People say, you know, "You were naturally gifted and so you would have been just as good without Percy." And they can say that if they wish - I know that I wouldn\'t have been as good without Percy.. .....
In a recent media interview, Herb Elliott said of his coach: Percy grew to be, in my view, the greatest Middle Distance coach in the world through his own hardships in his life.

Percy Cerutty was Australia\'s world-renowned coach in the 1960s.
