PHILIPRISING Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 BRIGGO celebrated his 80th birthday on Tuesday with a round of golf near his home in Dana Point, south of Los Angeles. He shares a birthday with Tiger Woods amongst others. Told me this afternoon that he had a telephone call from the Mauger family in Queensland and Ivan actually sang happy birthday to him. Two great rivals but also great friends. BB was very touched although whether Ivan, suffering from dementia, knew who was on the other end of the line is not certain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van wolfswinkel Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Time flies... without doubt one of the best riders I've ever seen, tearing around Wimbledon and Swindon in the 60s. Happy Birthday Briggo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waiheke1 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Met him at the last speedway gp in nz, and he seemed in excellent health - surprised that he's 80 he could have passed for ten yeard younger. happy birthday to a kiwi sporting legend.
