46: Vale Alan Jones ❤️
Show notes
We were incredibly fortunate to welcome 1980 Formula 1 World Champion Alan Jones to The Howie Games back in Episode 46 on February 1 2018. Fast, flamboyant and fearless, AJ had us captivated from the moment he joined Howie, sharing stories from a remarkable life lived at full throttle.
From a boy growing up in Melbourne with a dream of taking on the best drivers on the planet, to conquering the world of Formula 1 without money, connections or a clear pathway, Alan Jones carved out a place in sporting history. He didn't just make it to the top. He beat the best in the world.
With Alan's passing, we wanted to send our love and thoughts to all of his family and all of those that loved him, and revisit this special conversation and share his stories once more. A chance to remember the achievements, the character, the straight-shooting nature and the extraordinary determination of a man who did things his own way.
Remembering a true legend of Australian sport at this sad time.
Vale, Alan Jones.
