Quote from this very readable magazine...

 

"Ivan,the supreme professional in everything he did, went berserk in the (Coventry) dressing room because he knew we had lost the title earlier when a couple of our riders didn't turn up for our away meetings at Wimbeldon and Exeter."

 

Who did he mean?? Why didn't they appear??

Bobby Beaton, Frank Auffre and I think Graham Drury failed to arrive at Wimbledon. Broke down en route was cited as the reason.

I don't know about Exeter but Joe Owen did not make the match at Swindon for the same reason.

The points dropped at these matches cost Hull the title.
