i went along to Wembley 81, LA 82, then to Norden 83 each time rooting for Carter to see so near yet so far each time...
after Norden in 83 (with the Wimbledon coach) we went to Amsterdam for the big meeting there where we were trying to get Sanders to come and ride for Wimbledon and he actually seemed pretty keen... there had already been lots of speculation at that time anyway.
