William McLeod (Paralympian)

William McLeod MBE is a Scottish Paralympian who competed in track and field and in lawn bowls, mainly in category A events. At the 1976 Summer Paralympics he competed as a lawn bowls player and won a silver medal in the men's singles. Four years later, at the 1980 Summer Paralympics in New York, he took the gold medal in the lawn bowls men's singles and a second gold in the 60 metre sprint, which makes him a champion in two different sports at the same Games. He was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire in the 1985 Birthday Honours for services to sport for the disabled. His Wikipedia article gives no birth date, so his years of activity are recorded from his Paralympic results only.
