Andy Coogan

Andy Coogan was a Scottish author, World War II veteran and former champion runner.

Born in Glasgow, the oldest child of poor Irish immigrants, Coogan's promising athletic career was interrupted by the outbreak of World War II. As a young man, his goal was to compete in the Olympic Games for Great Britain, but the terrible consequences of war and imprisonment left him physically unable to continue this pursuit.
