Ralph G. Foster

Ralph Gordon Foster (1935 to 2021) was a British disabled sportsman who won a gold medal in lawn bowls for Great Britain at the 1988 Summer Paralympics in Seoul. According to his English Wikipedia article, he became a paraplegic after an accident in his late twenties and then took up disabled sport, competing as a swimmer, a snooker player and a lawn bowler. His Paralympic gold in the bowls event is the achievement the article records as his headline result. He lived in Nottingham, England, where he died at home after a long illness on 3 May 2021 at the age of 85. The article is a short stub, so this entry records only what it states and leaves further detail of his results and teammates to later work.
