As he basked in the satisfaction of becoming the oldest gold medallist in the history of the Commonwealth Games, George Miller encouraged people of all ages to pick up sports.

“It’s all there to be tried,” he told the BBC. “Everybody can try any sport at all. Bowls is easier for older people, but any sport; walking football, rugby, you name it. Get out there, exercise, play games, compete. It’s brilliant whatever age you are.”
