Damn. But as someone once said to him, "there are certain things over which we have no control". RIP Prof Sid.

A great man who seemed to be the only person the nasty dwarf seemed to respect.

Saved a lot of brave people from themselves.

RIP

[url= http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/2012/09/13/lunch-with-professor-sid-watkins/ ]This is well worth a read.

Whatever I've read he just comes across as one of those people it would be great to talk to for hours.

One of the great characters just left us.
