DjMagra’s stuff ‘n’ stuff

I haven’t posted about the recent death of George Best on here. I understand and appreciate the sense of loss that so many people are feeling right now, he truly was a legend and a wholly engaging character. Plenty has, and will continue to be written about the genius that was for many years to come.

However, in all the George Best news that has rightfully been filling all the various media forms over the past few days, the fact that 2001 World Rally Champion, Richard Burns has lost a long battle against a brain tumour, has gone relatively un-mentioned. There is a statement on his website detailing the struggle he has had for the past two years since passing out on his way to the Welsh Rally in November 2003.

He will doubtless be sorely missed by the World Rally Championship and all its fans, of which I am one, and which has already had a tragic year.
