Garry Herbert

Garry Gerard Paul Herbert MBE (born October 3, 1969 in London, Greater London) is an Olympic gold medal winning cox. He steered the British coxed pair (brothers Jonny and Gregory Searle) to victory in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics (the last time this event was included in the Olympic rowing programme).

His tears of emotion at the medal presentation, with the taller Searle brothers smiling behind him, became an iconic image in Britain. [ [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_19960723/ai_n14059660 Herbert out to add to his crying gains, The Independent] ] He studied at the University of Reading, trained as a barrister, and is currently also a commentator for the BBC and a motivational speaker.
