John was a very promising young roadman (old meaning) and a successful vet in the 80's and 90's. The reason you've probably never heard of him is that, as a young man, he retired from racing before his career really got going.
West London Junior RR Champion in his year, he had a super successful first year as a senior (riding for his original club, the Edgware RC) and then turned pro for Wally Green. Unfortunately he then stopped racing until he became a vet.
I've been asked to write an obituary which I'll post here when it's done.
