I was there at Belle Vue for the start of Ivan’s career right till the end, a fantastic all round Speedway rider, but once he was out of that starting gate not many people beat him. Never forget the black & white chequered helmet one of a kind. Last time I met Ivan was at his book signing at Belle Vue, a lovely fella with plenty of time to have a chat. He will be up there now with the other Belle Vue greats. My sincere condolences go out to his Family. REST IN PEACE IVAN, a true Legend of the dirt track .
