IVAN MAUGER .True legend of speedway.

[@garylee4171]

An absolute champion, watched him as a young bloke back in the 70,s.

The best ever rider for Newcastle Diamonds. For me the greatest rider of all, ever. I was 14 or 15 the first time I went to Brough Park and the team was: Brian Craven and Mike Watkin; Bob Duckworth and Peter Kelly; Ivan Mauger and Ivan Crozier; Russ Dent. That may have been his first appearance for Newcastle, and we worshipped him. I remember Brian Brett from Swindon Robins being drafted in when Ivan had meningitis, and Ivan winning his first race back after an illness that could have ended his career. And later being joined by Ole Olsen, so we had far and away the two best riders in the league. Happy days, great memories. Thank you, Ivan.

Remember Ivan as a fan at Belle Vue in the 70s , only saw him beat twice !

Was fortunate to see the great man once or twice back in the day of Glasgow Tigers at Hampden. An absolute legend of the sport...

LEGEND ... I remember meeting Ivan in Sheffield in the 70's Ivan riding for Exeter and Hull asked him for an autograph and Ivan automatically said yes... i still have the autograph along side Ole Olsen, Peter Collins, Bruce Penhall, to name a few. Such an exciting rider to watch... you knew if Ivan was riding the other riders were in for a difficult meeting. Thank you for some fantastic memories at the Owlerton Stadium Track in Sheffield UK..

Proud of your deeds Mr Mauger. Kiwi's really can fly.

[@quarryfield]

Absolute legend. Few people can claim to be the best in the world at what they do, but his fella was truly a world champion, Thanks Ivan, it was a pleasure watching you race, even though you always won against The Tigers lol. Thank you Ivan Mauger.

[@marymcgee3958]

Great to hear Ivan Mauger, thanks for the video.

[@turnerthemanc]

great to know I saw him race at belle vue with Pusey, Sjosten, Wilkinson

[@TheWhitehall]

First came Ronnie Moore...then Barry Briggs and Ivan Mauger completed the trio of great New Zealand World Speedway Champions. Geoff Mardon although never an individual champion was also a top racer. All at one time rode at Wimbledon Speedway in South London.
