The Mauger Family Statement |
|
This is a statement we released to the
press today (March 2015) regarding Ivan.
Former world speedway and long track champion Ivan Mauger
OBE MBE is being treated for cognitive aphasia, a
communication disorder. The Mauger family are issuing this statement detailing the
situation and will be making no further comment. |
Ivan, who won six speedway titles between 1968 and 1979, and long
track crowns in 1971, 1972 and 1976, announced his retirement from
public life two years ago.
He is receiving daily treatment at a Gold Coast (Australia)
nursing home, but still manages to enjoy time with wife Raye,
their three children, Julie, Kym and Debbie, and longstanding
friends and associates from within motorcycling and the wider
community.
|
Meanwhile, collectors are warned to be
wary of items of Ivan's equipment and memorabilia being offered
for sale.
“It has come to our notice that some unauthorised and unscrupulous
people have been making false representations so please take every
care to ensure any such offers are genuine and being made by
authentic sellers,” said Raye. |

John says: Ivan and I became
friends over the internet for a few years before he became ill.
I am proud to say he helped me many times with my websites namely
this Defunct Speedway effort and my Newcastle Speedway History
website. He supplied dozens of his personal photographs and
lots of text. I believe between the two websites I probably
have amassed more on Ivan than any other site on the net!
Yes I am boasting! wouldn't you? |
|
Best Wishes Ivan and also best
wishes to your family Raye,
Julie, Kym and Debbie |
