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

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

Personal life

[edit]

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.
