@ Bobby. I certainly can. He was virtually unbeatable in the early 70’s.Unfortunately he had left Newcastle by then Also ,for me, Ivan Mauger robbed my car is a sublime line.
In his autobiography, John Cooper Clarke details making business cards for various Belle Vue Aces while working as a printer. Ivan Mauger was his first customer.
