Quote from this very readable magazine...

 

"Ivan,the supreme professional in everything he did, went berserk in the (Coventry) dressing room because he knew we had lost the title earlier when a couple of our riders didn't turn up for our away meetings at Wimbeldon and Exeter."

 

Who did he mean?? Why didn't they appear??

Bobby Beaton, Frank Auffre and I think Graham Drury failed to arrive at Wimbledon. Broke down en route was cited as the reason.

I don't know about Exeter but Joe Owen did not make the match at Swindon for the same reason.

The points dropped at these matches cost Hull the title.

Thanks!!!

Is that why Graham Drury is so loved at Wimbledon??
