In 1992 I was working for Blake’s Ford in Liverpool. They had decided to enter the new Ford Escort Rallye Sport Series and contracted Tony to be the driver. As team manager it was my job to gather a bunch of scouse mechanics from the dealership to give up their time and go racing with this tall posh guy. Well what a year we had! We won many a race in this multi disciplined event and if Tony wanted something doing the lads where happy to oblige. He became a fellow scouser for the year and even my mother knitted some baby clothes for Katy. He was a consummate perfectionist professional in writing and his driving. Thank you for the memories Tony.
