Unfortunately the website doesn't seem to say for what actions they were commended, though I have guessed at some.
Can anyone fill in the gaps ( I've listed them in order of what I believe to be the most prestigious award) ?

Trophy - Act of Fair Play1979 Phillipe Roux
Are there any details about what he did to earn this award? I assume it's the same guy who just missed out on the medals in the Innsbruck Olympic downhill?

The late David Purley might also deserve a mention?
