Very sad news. Yet another succumbs to that dreaded disease.
I do a small speedway quiz each Sunday night for a few mates down the pub, and Rob Ashton was the answer to one of the questions just last Sunday. He was runner-up in the ' Newcomer of the Year ' section in the then annual Speedway Writers and Photographers Association Awards in 1981.
Will always be remembered as a member of the 1983 NL KO Cup side that pipped Weymouth by a point on aggregate.
RIP
