TonyMac 720 Posted January 10, 2006 SPEEDWAY is set for rare national coverage on BBC Radio Five Live this Thursday evening, when the widow of Simon Wigg will be interviewed about the much talked about new book, WIGGY! – In His Own Words. Charlie Wigg will be one of the guests appearing on Sport On Five, hosted by Mark Saggers, from 9pm. You can tune in on either 909 or 693 on the Medium Wave. Or for people outside the UK, you can listen to the show via the BBC website at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/index.shtml?logo Charlie's 10,000-word contribution to this much acclaimed book in tribute to her late husband – including her heartrending account of Simon’s last days and how she and the couple’s two children struggled to cope with his death five years ago – has been a key factor in the success of one of the fastest-selling speedway books ever produced. As well as talking about the success of the book, Charlie will also reflect on Simon's brilliant speedway career in the 80s and what really happened leading up to his sad death from a brain tumour in November 2000. What, you haven't bought your copy yet . . . ! Well... WIGGY! runs to 272 pages, including 16 in glossy full colour and more than 200 great pictures, and costs just £15.99.
