I remember Stephen Fry mentioning this rowing event in his autobiography. Apparently Laurie was very heartbroken over the fact that he was beaten by the Oxford rowing team, as Fry would never really get over losing the University Challenge to Merton.

Wonderful man

We were coached by John Bland who rowed at 4 for Oxford then rowed in coxless four at LA Olympics 84

He’d have hated watching that, it was apparently the biggest disappointment of his life.
