I swear Simon Taylor has been in his 60s since the 1990s.

Taylor is 80, Roebuck 78

Jesus, I would have sworn Roebuck was a lot older than Taylor

He has looked the same his whole life, like everyone of that generation. Maybe it was the cigarettes, they seemed to age people quickly initially but then hold them at a permanent physical age of 48 for the rest of their lives.

I do hope he is doing OK anyways.

Yeah - could be a re-publish of an older article. There's one like that on Motor Sport's website right now (about Alan Jones) and it's a reminder of just HOW much better Nigel was than the current Autosport writers - simply a vast difference in quality.

Well glad i am not the only one thinking that, i was quite baffled to read that he is only 17, he looks so much older then that.
