Tony was the instructor who took me round Brands Hatch on my first-ever track day in 1994. At 6'9" I was (like him) too tall for the single seaters so we went round together in an XR3i. He took the first 3 laps overtaking all the single seaters on principle it seemed, then it was my turn. Boy was he a good instructor - I was soon overtaking single seaters myself. We got on well that day and formed a special "tall person" bond. I ran into him many times afterwards at Silverstone and Goodwood and he always stopped to pass the time of day. A real gentleman and an inspiring driver and teacher. I will never forget him.
