I felt he underachieved on his day he was a super rider at Swindon aquipment and consistency was a a problem.

He badly broke his ankle in 1979 (?) and the fact Dan McCormack (who he didn't get on with) became his promoter at Cradley and later Birmingham seemed to effect him.

Apologies for quoting my own post if it breaks any forum rules, but I have remembered that he rode for Sweden in a World Team Cup qualifier at Belle Vue in June 1978, my first visit to Hyde Road.
