Very sad to hear the news and my condolences to Ivan's family. My abiding memories of Ivan were of him being virtually the only guy to defeat Charlie Monk around White City in Glasgow. He was a fantastic rider and I always expected him to win any meeting that I saw him at. The last time that I had the pleasure of watching Ivan was in 1978 when I was working in West Germany at the time and saw him beating the local hero Egon Muller in a grass track meeting. Great memories of an absolute legend.
