His prowess in World Finals and for his beloved New Zealand in World Team Cups is testament enough to his consistent brilliance. However; it is via his British League statistics, for number of Clubs, at times in a League far bigger than it is now, with far more strength in depth, where many 2nd string riders would be No 1's in the modern; that emphasise he will never have any equals. A consummate professional, a perfect role model; a sponsors dream and a thoroughly decent and approachable man. As a rider, a sportsman a legend and as a man simply outstanding. RIP
