I'm being told Ian Steel wrote a book about Steve Lawson. Anyone remember this? Or is it being confused with his testimonial brochure ?

Robert Bamford did a statistical breakdown of his career. I have a copy but finding it might take a while

The 1988 Testimonial Brochure does not have Ian mentioned but he did the programme then and was probably too modest to include himself. I reckon this is the one as there was never an actual book written about Steve. Still cant find Rob Bamford's stat book though. Rob was a big Swindon fan (with Glasgow as his other team)and authored a number of books before doing the rider index on the BSPL website

I wrote the Testimonial brochure (as opposed to the programme) on behalf of the Testimonial committee. Racing career and family shots on the farm included."

Jim, do you know if Ian still follows the team even from a distance ? Best team manager we ever had and with 4 trophies to show for it.

Anne and Ian still keep a wee eye on the speedway scene, but that's all. Agree wholeheartedly with your opinion of his time as team manager.
