Sir Ludwig Guttmann

Sir Ludwig Guttmann's pioneering work at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Buckinghamshire revolutionised the lives of paraplegics. Not only that, he also organised the very first ‘Stoke Mandeville Games' to coincide with the start of the 1948 London Olympics and realise an ambition of a global sports competition for disabled people. Guttmann envisaged that his Games would be held every four years as ‘the equivalent of the Olympic Games' and now, 64-years later that dream has become an established reality.
