There is no place in old age for “if only, I should or could have” to haunt me.’ he writes. ” I always wanted a clear conscience, the satisfaction of knowing that I had done my best at all times, never taken an easier, less productive route, and seldom taking a backwards step. The need to race, the search for and retention of perfect form, an addiction to that strange ethereal state where silence and perfection, the product of total concentration and immaculate execution, in itself was my reward.’
– Four times world champion, Hugh Anderson MBE
