SLIPPERGOLDEN

Bigger crowd when I stood at Becher's Brook in 1981. Nobody stands in that back area now probably due to security reasons.

Photos attached from my day at the Grand National in 1981

It is remembered for the winning horse Aldaniti, who had recovered from chronic leg problems, and his jockey Bob Champion, who had recovered from cancer. Aldaniti's injuries dated back to 1976, while Champion had been diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1979. However, Aldaniti was nursed back to optimum form ahead of the race, and Champion overcame lengthy hospitalisation and chemotherapy to win the National by a distance of four lengths
