Pic 1. When Hugh Laurie (and seven others) rowed for Cambridge in 1980, it was the fourth time that the race had been sponsored. This picture must have taken during training as, until 2012, the sponsor’s name or logo (in this case Ladbrokes) was not displayed on kit or equipment during the race itself.
