"There is no compromise."

"You give everything you have."

"Everything."

"Absolutely everything."

He was the only sporting hero I ever had, and I'll never forget that day. Mrs 12th said 'he's dead, isn't he?' almost straight away. Makes me feel strangely thoughtful even now, and one of life's few regrets is not seeing going to the '93 Donington GP. Like you, I'm not a million miles away.

RIP indeed.
