I was too young during the 1960s to know anything about Simpson at the time. But during the 70s my clubmates still held him in awe. I think it's extraordinary that he won British Sportsman of the Year, I assume that he was the first UK cyclist to do so, or was it Reg Harris?
Yes, normally I'd let a pathetic post by that person i had a pop at go but i had to say something because of Tommy Simpson, a pioneer and best ever British rider.
The Stupid cow that posted that disrespectful stuff earlier should of been strangled at birth.
I think it was Simpson as personality of the year I'm but not entirely certain. he came up against legendery riders like Merckx so it was tough for him but he was class.
