Sorry to hear this, was only reading a Backtrack mag about him remember the other week,    I remember him in his early years at Belle Vue, steady rider, and his machine were always immaculate.

Just been informed by my brother. An interesting character and, if I recall, won the very first race in the old Second Division?

RIP

Ye he did, against Canterbury... he was one of the first 'star' opposition riders I related to as a very young Canterbury fan in 68. R.I.P.

Taffy was born on 22 November 1935

Does anyone know what year he was born, Wikipedia says 1935, while other sources say 1936?
