Book Review:
Ivan Mauger - The Man Behind The Myth
(John Chaplin)
Speedway historian John Chaplin is the man behind this new book that takes a fresh approach to a familiar subject. Ivan Mauger is probably the most written about rider in speedway history, so do we really need another book about him? The answer (surprisingly) is yes, this is a very worthwhile addition to the bookshelf.
Rather than telling the story of Ivan's life, Chaplin approached dozens of people who have known him and asked them to write about him. A simple approach, but one that works fantastically well. The contributors range from family member, other multiple World Champions and some who met him fleetingly or only ever saw him race. They've all got an opinion and they are all in here.
There seems to be little middle-ground with Mauger, few of those featured are indifferent to him. He seems to be the kind of character that you simply either like or you don't. Interestingly he doesn't even seem to be universally respected for his on-track achievements, some contributors having absolutely nothing good to say about him at all. One five-time World Champion is unwilling to say anything about him - from which we can perhaps draw our own conclusions.
