Default Barry Sheene has died of cancer.

Former world motorcycling champion Barry Sheene has died after a long battle against cancer.

The 52-year-old won the World Motorcycle Championships twice in the 1970s and became famous for overcoming his numerous crashes on the track.

Sheene, awarded an MBE in 1978, died in hospital on Australia's Gold Coast from cancer of the throat and stomach.

I heard this on the radio this morning.

What a sad couple of days it has been, what with Adam Faith and now Barry.

Very sad ............

I adored Barry Sheene in the 70's, I had posters up on my bedroom wall of him


I also remember him on Superstars, anyone else remember that great show?
