Barry Sheene
Barry Sheene MBE (November 9 1950 - March 10 2003) was a British and world motorcycling champion.
He became the British 125 cc. champion aged just 20, and finished second in the world championships for that class a year later. A spectacular crash in Daytona in 1975 threatened to end his career, breaking his left thigh, right arm, collarbone and two ribs, yet he recovered and was racing again shortly afterwards.
In 1976 he won five grand prixs, bringing him the world title, a feat he repeated the following year.
He moved to Australia and became a commentator on motor sport.
