Saw him riding for Cradley at the start of 1981. It was sad to see him struggling so much, Peter Adams ran out of patience and replaced him with John McNeill. 

Prefer to remember the quality rider he was in his pomp round Owlerton.

I seem to recall that he and Bruce Penhall didn't exactly hit it off?

That was 1979.

But, remember, Arnie arrived at Hyde Road with a back catalogue of recent injuries, his demise hastened by the fact he had completed just one full season - 1977 - of the last three......

That's a clear and detailed analysis of Arnie's final years in the sport. Thank you.

Are you able to give us a similar summary of his years at the top?

Thank you for the praise, False Dawn.

Of course I could write a similar piece on Arnie's time at the top, but I penned this on his final years in reply to a post by Garry1603 above it.
