Barry has always been a hero of mine, a very brave man through all his injuries and the illness that finally claimed him, I met him (when I was aged
ten) at brands hatch, he'd taken quite a tumble and he stood for three quarters of a hour signing autographs before getting in the ambulance.
I still have my autrograph.
Cheers
Chris
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

I saw barry sheen in what I think was the transatlantic trophy series at brands in 1976 - 77. I have never been to brands since, but probably will to
see the indy race in may.
As a biker at that time he was one of my heros too.
The closest I got to him was when I lived in Towcester in the early 80's. I drove past him and lord hesketh as they were walking the high street
campaigning for heskeths election to summat or other.
Can you believe that no brit has one a GP since sheene's last win!
