Older #MotoGP fans may remember John Brown, veteran motorcycle racing journo. In August 1969 he was in Belfast, covering the Ulster MotoGP round for the Daily Express. He gets a call from the news editor: the Battle of Bogside is happening and the British Army has been deployed on the streets of Northern Ireland. The news ed tells JB that he's their only journo in the area, so can he switch from covering the Ulster GP to covering the escalating violence, which is widely considered to be the spark that ignited the 30-year Troubles.
