Sir Bob Scott looks back on an unusual life with several careers. A
single theme through it all has been getting things off the ground.
There has been both success and failure. After a childhood spent
abroad as the son of a diplomat and in England with his astonishing
Grandmother, Bob sailed through schooling and Oxford mainly because
he was large and noisy. From his brief stint as an actor to being a
theatre manager in Manchester; from remote corners of Europe to the
broader reaches of the globe as the Olympic bug took hold and led
to successfully getting the Commonwealth Games, the Millennium Dome
and Liverpool's successful bid to be 2008 European Capital of
Culture, Bob Scott has a myriad of stories to tell. Fifty years in
the Arts and Sport inevitably lead to some colourful - and
sometimes funny - encounters, with the likes of Burton and Taylor,
Pavarotti, Nureyev, Topol, Olivier, Finney, Lloyd Webber, Bobby
Charlton, Clive Lloyd, LS Lowry, Mrs Thatcher, John Major, Vladimir
Putin, the Queen, Prince Charles, Princess Anne to name just a few.
