I’ve been a Speedway fan for 45+years since first going to watch Crewe in 1972...even before then I’d heard of Ivan. I’d seen him on TV ...watching him made me want to watch Speedway live. Althrough those early years for me, Ivan was The Master...incomparible. He was to Speedway what Fangio was to F1, Agustini to Motorbikes, Ali was to Boxing ...he was up there with the All Time Greats of every Sport. Thank you Ivan: my deepest, sincerest thanks for giving me Speedway and my condolences to your loving family
