In 1990-92 he Averaged over 9.5 each season for Newcastle (averaged 8.3 in 1980 and 6.6 in the ill-fated 1st division season in '84). Missed out in the 2nd Div Riders Championship in 1991 when beaten in a run-off by Jan Staechmann, after both had finished on 14pts.
Top and consistent performer. The Mark Thorpe/David Bargh pairing was something to behold.
