Eddie Kidd, the former motorcycle rider, is 26 days into the greatest stunt of his life.

I remember seeing him at a show in Leeds as a yoof, all the girls were swooning.

I saw him at Woking Football Club in 1983, when I was a cocky 17 year old. What a professional. He made Evel Knievel look like a complete muppet (which he was, and not a nice man). The man has so much determination, I'm sure he'll complete it. He deserves a Knighthood, same as Eddie Izzard... [smiley=happy.gif]

His crash out was very strange I thought at the time and after seeing it again.

He and his wife were recently on Cash in the Attic where Angela Rippon was going thru their stuff so they could give the proceeds to a charity Eddie supports which I thought was worthy of high respect to them and I saw plenty of celebs came out to support his walk such as Ray Winstone.
