MANY thought it was a feat that would never be achieved, but in May, 1954, a medical student called Roger Bannister became the first man to run a mile in under four minutes.
Roger Bannister, from Knowsley and the national executive committee at Unison, Les Skarrett, of the Mersey Fire Brigade Union, and Alec McFadden, of Merseyside TUC, will launch the new group in the Crown Hotel opposite Liverpool Lime Street station at 7.
