Something in a young man stirred. His grandfather, an Australian sports hero called Harry Luther, had achieved something quite remarkable. Was it the scrapbook with all the memories of Harry’s exploits that was the trigger? Or was it an awakening stirred by the same genes that propelled Harry. Or perhaps the young man just wanted to honour his grandfather who had died in an accident on a bike in Perth in 1988.
