During his time as speedway reporter for MCN, Andrew Edwards
travelled extensively witnessing first-hand the thrills and spills
of world class speedway, meeting the top riders and hearing and
reporting on stories of epic euphoric success and sometimes
tragedy. Here Andrew recounts his own story from humble beginnings
in provincial journalism in the West Midlands to national newspaper
reporting of Grand Prix world meetings with anecdotes and
characters described in his own style with a fair bit of humour
along the way. How he met with some of the greatest headline makers
over decades of speedway reporting becoming great friends of many
along the way including legendary names like Ivan Mauger, Barry
Briggs, Bruce Penhall, Peter Collins, Simon Wigg, Jason Crump and
Kenny Carter. There is also the story of how Andrew experienced
major changes in the publishing industry, from hot metal presses,
the days when clanky ink ribbon typewriters were the latest
technology and even before mobile phones were invented, right
through to a new dawn of the new digital printing revolution.
