Tarrant grew up in wartime london and as the bombing intensified he and his brother a lifelong compadre and supporter of john s ambitions were shipped out to a care home.

John tarrant ghostrunner. John tarrant 1932 1975 was born in london england. John tarrant 1932 1975 was an english long distance runner nicknamed the ghost runner for his habit of gatecrashing races from which he was barred due to his non amateur status acquired during a brief career as a teenage prize fighter. When he discovered that he had talents running he dreamed of running the marathon in the olympics and gave up boxing. There s a certain never say die attitude in working class athletes that allows them more often than not to supersede their silver spooned competitors.

I finished reading the ghost runner by bill jones which was released on the 7th july. Tarrant accepting a boxing donation. The book is about john tarrant his life his very very understanding wife and brother and his ups and downs from the 50s through to the early 70s.

Sad shadow of the ghost runner still stalks the track as olympic fever mounts a new biography recalls the incredible story of tarrant the man british athletics tried to forget. John tarrant s tragic story defies belief nowadays.

The ghost runner is the simultaneously inspiring and tragic tale of an athlete who fights to overcome a series of difficulties that stand in the way of his dreams. This week s maverick is john tarrant the man who evaded the authorities rallied against apartheid and earned himself the shadowy sobriquet the ghost runner. John tarrant was banned for life from running because he was paid 17 gbp for expenses as a teenage boxer in the 1950s thus labeling him as a professional. The ghost runner by bill jones tells us about the life and career of john tarrant and just how idiotic the bodies which ran amateur athletics were.
