MALCOLM Simmons was one of the finest speedway riders of the 1970s and 80s - England captain, British Champion, World No.2, four times a World Cup winner and three times World Pairs champion, he is one of the most accomplished all round motorcyclists Britain has ever produced.

He started racing on the shale in 1963 and was still going strong nearly three decades later. A legend at Poole, 'Super Simmo' first hit the international; heights with King's Lynn after learning his trade with London tracks Hackney and the treble-winning West Ham in the early 60s. His career also took in spells with Wimbledon, Swindon and an ill-fated return to King's Lynn as co-promoter of the company that went bust. No, it wasn't all glory.

In this refreshingly honest account of his life on and off the track, Simmo lifts the lid on what really went on behind the scenes in speedway during his illustrious career. For the first time, he admits his own involvement in race-fixing, how he beat a Control Board ban when he feared he would lose his racing licence, why he was thrown out of the sport for defrauding his partner and a number of other admissions that will shock - and probably sadden - his legion of admirers.

Former team-mates and rivals will also be amazed by the revelations that will have everyone in speedway talking ...

The product of a broken home, Simmo also reflects candidly on his sad childhood, his split from his parents, the break-up of his marriage, how he squandered everything he ever earned from this dangerous sport and the brushes with the law that led to his imprisonment for six months.

We don't promise that you will like everything Malcolm Simmons, the super stylist, has to say in Simmo: The Whole Truth, but we guarantee you won't be able to put it down.

Simmo said: "I came into speedway with nothing and left it with nothing."
