Desert Island Discs Revisited

Jockey Richard Dunwoody is castaway by Sue Lawley.
"I've fallen off more than 600 times".
Richard has been champion jockey three times and won the Grand National twice in 1984 and 1986.
His father George was a horse-trainer, as was his maternal-grandfather Dick Thrale.
He rode out in Newmarket as a schoolboy and after leaving college in Cheltenham served his apprenticeship with former leading jump jockey Paul Kelleway then master trainer Tim Forster.
Richard went on to be one of sport’s greatest legends.
He dominated the jump racing scene in the 1980s and 1990s – and was awarded the MBE in 1993.

I take it that Dunwoody doesn't actually like music with that selection. Awful.
I listened to it this morning. Admitted slight mental health issues. Also discussed the altercation with Adrian Maguire. Was an interesting programme.
And the next Desert Island Discs revisited is:

Richard Dunwoody loved the west of Ireland and may be why his number one choice was Clare Island off the Mayo coast.
