That isn't actually true, according to John Harrhy himself. When I interviewed him around three years ago up at his golf complex I asked him, as part of a long extensive interview, whether his injuries still troubled him and he said no.

I stand by my comments, based on what John told me himself when I visited him in 2014

PS Yes, a great article!

I lived in Radford Coventry in 50’s & 60’s’Where les Owen had is ACE garage.  Two heats that come to mind was when Ron Mountford catapulted into the stand on the 4th corner and Col Cottrel team riding Fred Hodder to three points.  Fred rarely made it past second half rides.
