seve ballesteros
The BBC 1 programme Inside Sport tonight features an interview with one of Golf’s most colourful and charismatic characters, the one time World number one player Seve Ballesteros.
Another golf legend, commentator Peter Allis will be interviewing Ballesteros just twelve months after the Spaniard was first diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Ballesteros underwent four operations to remove the tumour leaving him so ill that at the time it seemed inevitable that he would die. But in the programme he says the last thing he wants is sympathy following his ‘miracle’ cure.
In what promises to be a moving yet uplifting programme Ballesteros says:
“Some people will feel sorry for me or maybe cry when they see this programme but I feel very happy and a very lucky person because throughout my life I have had so many great moments and feel I have lived two or three more lives than the average person.
This thing that happened to me is a very little thing compared to other people who have tougher times, they didn’t have the opportunity to live life so intensely. I’ve had a very good life.”
