Sensibly, he took the advice of some of the world's leading specialists following a long and determined fight to save his career. Fitness permitting, I'm convinced hj would have ridden on for another four or five years — such was his determination and enthusiasm. ——————————————————————————————————————— Headlines 570 Totes 589 10-1 WED WINNER DON'T MISS p568/3P594 Teletext 594 Dec42 03:14:48 O - WITH STEVE SMITH ECCLES ————————— WOODY'S LAUGHS ON TOUR When Richard Dunwoody first emjrgjd on the scene in the early eighties, hj sjemjd a quiet, unassuming young lad.
