Apologise if this book has been listed before. Read it from cover to cover...genuinely couldn't put it down..typical Dave Lanning newsy, busy and well written by one of the Sports legendary Journo's. Trying to spot the great names hidden in the book took some time, but it was a great read.Still not 100% who "Jacko" was based on..possibly "Youngie"...

Must agree, this was a most compulsive read.....was wondering though does anyone know the picture on the cover? from a world final? as I have a canvas of the same picture and was happy to see it reproduced on book cover. I think PC is one of the riders

Excellent read.

 

I too have got a canvas (about 6 years old) with the same image as used on the front cover. I also have the actual photograph from which its taken.

Look very closely and you will see that its Poole's Malcolm Simmons on the inside and Neil Middleditch on gate 3. Possibly John Titman in gate 2, don't know about gate 4 though. Possibly Leicester v Poole?

 

That's my best guess.
