Career
He was a second favourite for the 1963 British Broadcasting Corporation Sports Personality of the Year Award. In 2002 he was inducted into the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame. Olympic selectors could not believe that he trained in a 25-metre pool in Falkirk when the selectors arrived to critique him prior to the Tokyo Olympics.
He retired from swimming in 1968 and now works as an architect in Glasgow.
His father, David McGregor, was an Olympic water polo player.
