Biography

He represented the England team [1] [2] and won a bronze medal [3] in the single sculls event at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Cardiff, Wales. [4] [5]

He rowed for Trinity College, Cambridge and Eton College Boat Club and rowed against Oxford in the 1958 boat race.

His father Humphrey Roberton Carver also rowed for Cambridge in the 1922 and 1925 races respectively. Russell was born in late 1934 in Kenya, because his father was a civil servant working there at the time. The family moved back to England in 1935 to live at Boldre Bridge House, Lymington, Hampshire.[ citation needed ]
