That is sad.
As you say, one of the greats from the time that I used to go to speedway.

One of the greats from when I started going as a kid, along with Olsen, Crump and all the Witches stars - Sanders, Louis etc |  |

He absolutely hated Foxhall, one of his least favourite tracks.
Great rider and well ahead of his time in terms of sponsorship etc, alas he suffered from Alzheimers for the last 5 plus years of his life |  | | |

I could only name 3 or so speedway riders; Mauger, Sanders, Louis [and Nicholls?].
Was taken to a few Witches races, never got into it... but the fact I knew his name meant I thought he'd been a Witches rider... a quick peak at Wiki tells me I'm wrong. |  |

I saw him race at Exeter where the 'fencing' on turn 3/4 was 1" thick sheet metal. There was no hesitation just supreme confidence in his own ability not to hit it (60 mph and no brakes). |  | | |

That was a golden era for speedway.
I only went for about five years from 1972 but in that time Olsen and Mauger were THE superstars- as you say, along with some Witches greats. [Post edited 17 Apr 2018 16:34]

Probably the same period for me. Mates from school back straight. 2 buses and a walk - kids wouldn't do it now. Somewhere in the loft is the witch shaped scoreboard by dad made for me. | | | |

He leaves a daughter who still lives in central Ipswich. |  | | |
