I fondly remember his time at Coventry, growing in stature from a good rider to a world beater! Such a nice bloke with a great sense of humour too! Always approachable and always found time for a chat even at the GP's after he'd left Coventry. Like R&R says..Thanks for the memories AJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

double_O Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Top bloke and a great rider. As Gambo said it was a pleasure to watch him grow into that world class rider with the Bees. All the best AJ and thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatface Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 "You can't do that Andreas Jonsson!" Very likeable, entertaining rider and talented enough to be World Champion...and he very nearly was. Happy retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve roberts Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Blimey it dosen't seem that long ago that he burst upon the scene. How time flies and good luck to him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False dawn Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 AJ remained popular with the Coventry fans long after he left the club. A special talent. Have a well earned rest and come back, in whatever capacity, when you're ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Great rider and all-round good egg is AJ. I remember Billy Hamill once saying of him, "he's got hips like Elvis!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Always rode for rival teams, but an entertaining rider who I never had any ill will against. Enjoy retirement and whatever comes next. Edited August 27, 2019 by BWitcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 I enjoyed watching Andreas riding Happy retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 A long and successful career, not sure he gets much rest though. I'd say there is some pressure on him to get involved with Rospiggarna since he is from Hallstavik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His name was already in one of the SR’s for the international meetings arranged at Hallstavik this season... It’s been about 20 years since I first saw him ride at Pori in the Nordic final...

Dave Jones Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Top quality rider, have some great memories of his time a Brandon.

SpeedwayTShirts Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Very similar to TK from a Coventry viewpoint and potentially being a World Champion. Charismatic, Dependable and capable of beating anyone in the world day in day out. Happy Retirement AJ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Great rider absolutely fabulous to watch especially in his prime, I think the most naturally talented Swedish rider since Per and Henka and that's not meant as a dig at Tony R!! Just pure pure natural ability and a lovely guy to boot Edited August 28, 2019 by hagonshocker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) AJ was a real class act who had some very nasty injuries along the way, I always looked forward to seeing him race he was world class for such along period of time good luck to Andreas on whatever you do in the future.
