Via social media, Jesus College, Cambridge sent HTBS a message reminding us that Steve Fairbairn, oarsman at Jesus and a Cambridge Blue in 1882, 1883, 1886 and 1887 and Henley winner, coach at Jesus, Cambridge, Thames RC and London RC, author of famous rowing books and the one who introduced “Fairbairnism” (a new method of rowing), was born on this day 160 years ago, in 1862.

Happy Birthday, Steve!
