It's gonna happen to everyone, but you'd think you'd get a good innings in.

26 is about right in that case.
.....former Chelsea manager, Bobby Campbell has passed away. I think he was from Liverpool and played a number of games for the Reds.

Pat Eddery has passed away, just 63. Now there was a jockey.

Agree ! 63 though, he always looked about 60 to me back then. He was top quality and his ride on Dancing Brave will live long in the memory. Cheers for all the wins Pat.

Really good jockey, 11 times champion.
Never rode out for places though, and cost me a huge place pot once, not that I'm still bitter about it like.
His rivialry with Steve Cauthen was one of the best.
....big surprise to me as a racing fan. I didn't know he was ill. No doubt he was a top jockey.

This sounds great, but I can only see the book available in German. Don't suppose you could advise an English book covering the same period/subject matter?Gunter Schabowski : Ex. East German Politician who announced in 1989 that all E. Germans were to be allowed to emigrate immediately. A mistake that precipitated the fall of the Berlin Wall. His autobiography was titled - We Did Almost Everything Wrong.

Apparently been ill for ages. First thing they told me when I went in a bookies aged 16 was never back Eddery for a place. Win or nowt, that was his mantra. Golden age for jockeys that was, only Ryan Moore and Frankie who can hold a candle to the jockeys in the eighties.
