Dodgy Business
So, who can overtake and who needs to work on it, according to Sir Jackie Stewart?
Early childhood heroes. Remember them? For me, there were two: Peter Lorimer, Leeds United footballer, him of the 70mph shot, and Jackie Stewart - blue Matra-Ford, long hair, shades and corduroy cap.
They get you into bother, these people. Put on the spot by a three-man school interview panel when I was 11, I told them I read widely. Truth is, where I came from, at a time when you could actually go beyond the garden gate without an escort, all we did was kick footballs from dawn till dusk. With a three-month summer interlude trying to impersonate Geoff Boycott or Dennis Lillee (an Aussie fast bowler in case you're struggling).
