give good space to this obit of the late Barry Hoban. He didn’t get the fame he merited when he was racing, good to redress the balance a small bit

Matty Brennan, Britain's hottest talent, spent a large part of his childhood sitting behind a derny at Middlesbrough velodrome. The concrete track was crucial in his development. Now the velodrome needs extra funding to maintain it. If you can help...

Just in case anyone is interested, here is a picture of Winston Churchill in 1943, wearing his wartime 'siren suit' on his way to meet President Roosevelt. He wore the same suit when he went to ask for more money under Lend-Lease the year before.
