I have always considered him and Hailwood as the real GOATS. Rest in Peace Sir John.

The word legend is enormously over used however if there was ever a man worthy of the title it was John Surtees
A true gentleman off the track and a ruthless competitor on it , I doubt that his like will be seen again.
It's a travesty that despite all his achievements and his tireless work for the Henry Surtees Foundation he was never knighted .

Why? There are plenty more hip and deserving one minute wonders out there. Only messing. He was an amazing man. My uncle Bill was his workshop manager and never ever had a bad word to say about him in either good or bad moods
