Does anyone know anything about William Brown, he was an army long jump champion and raced short distance races, doing well enough for people to bet on him and be propositioned by not so nice people to throw a race, he didn't and was beaten for it.

He was the head of the Outlaws, wasn't he?

My grandads brother was called William Brown, but I don't think it was him.
