TBF he did also get 33 years for kidnapping and robbery later (as already mentioned), albeit he only served about 10 of them IIRC.

LOL at "starting from the negative". Pretty sure the negative aspects of his life outweigh the positive now.

I was over in the Island for the Formula1 TT on the Saturday (which Mike Hailwood won, and was the reason I was there) and also on the Monday for the Senior TT, in which Pat Hennen crashed and which Tom Herron won. After the euphoria of Mike's win it was a nasty shock to hear of Pat's crash. I'm sure that the motorcycle racing history books would be very different had he not had that crash.

You mean Sportsman? TV personality?

Why go from the negative?
Yeah, he was never convicted, at least stick to the facts, he was an armed robber and kidnapper
Because you can't libel the dead?
