Don't start me off Barbara.

His last words to me we not about himself and the terrible suffering he must have been in, but his concern about and that he was sorry about my failing eyesight.

His final words on the TT to his friends were "what a mess it has all become". Never truer words said.

At the Villa he made even the last man home a hero to the packed hall,

At the TTRA dinners he was the ultimate professional and he was a bloody embarassment the way he made every single rider present stand and exalted with applause for their achievements to resounding applause.

He was a class act and those who have followed and replaced him are mere shadows of his excellence at what he did best, support and care for with real sincerity all riders not just the stars.
