Clive Brittain: 'All Pat Eddery ever wanted to be was a jockey'

John Dunlop has described Pat Eddery as a “delightful man” following his death at the age of 63.

Eddery was champion jockey 11 times during a career which spanned over 35 years and saw him compete against some of the most celebrated names in racing.

Lester Piggott, Steve Cauthen and Willie Carson were amongst his contemporaries in the weighing room along with the likes of Frankie Dettori and Kieren Fallon in his later years, yet Eddery trails only Gordon Richards on the list of all-time winners.
