A bit about ... Sir Stirling Moss


30/ 6/2005

DESPITE never wining the world championship, Sir Stirling Moss - who was forced to retire after suffering severe head injuries in a crash at Goodwood in 1962 - was still considered as one of the greatest racing drivers of all-time. His on-track scraps with Argentinian Juan-Manuel Fangio were legendary. Now 75, he was in Manchester supporting the SortED campaign which aims to help men suffering from erectile dysfunction.
