Carl Fogarty – or Foggy as he is widely known – is the undisputed king of World Superbike racing.
The crowds worshipped his gutsy, aggressive style and a determination to win at all costs that produced four World Superbike championship wins and a total of seven world championship successes.
A freak crash in 2000 forced his retirement, after which Foggy has pursued a number of media and business interests, including a best-selling autobiography, team ownership, a popular chat-show tour and charity work.
