My Other Brother, Buster
There are brothers Mottram nicknamed "Beef" and "Motrain," sure, but what about Aussie long distance runner Craig "Buster" Mottram?
"The Aussie ace has run the mile in 3:48.98, 5,000m (3.1 miles) in 12:55.76, and 10,000m (6.2 miles) in 27:50.4. Those three times make him the fastest distance man to emerge from Down Under. Herb Elliott? Ron Clarke? John Landy? Stopwatches do not lie. The 25-year-old, six-foot-two Melbourne native would have left them all in his tracks."
Welcome to the family, dude. You're not the only notable guy in the extended network of online Mottram's, though. There's Tony, who photographs rockers from yesteryear. There's James, who writes a lot about cool films, and there's even a Mottram Natural Hair Philosophy company (product!). Plus, there's this guy, who owns mottram.com. That son of a bitch.

If Mottram is the guy winning the race in the pic, it looks like great-great-great granpappy Mottram may have had a taste for the field hands.

Long-time listener, first-time commenter from Australia - the land of Buster Mottram!
Thought you would also like to know that you should welcome another brother to the family. Craig Mottram has a younger brother Neil - yes, Australia has it's own 'Brothers Mottram'!
Not only that, Neil has also represented Australia in his chosen sport (basketball) and won the National Basketball League championship earlier this year with the Melbourne Tigers.
