Feckers who died young

[eagle52]

You lost me after the first two!

My apologies, my choices were obscure, but they just naturally came to me due to 1950’s music interest(was my era) and love of all things motorbike.
Johnny Burnette was an American singer around the same time as Eddie Cochran, died in a fishing accident 1964 aged 30.
Marco was the 2008 250cc World Champion and heavily tipped to be the next MotoGP champ, who was sadly killed whilst racing in 2011 aged 24.
Craig was only 23 was killed at Brands Hatch 2008 competing in World Supersport Championship, unfortunately I was in the crowd that day.
Lastly, Kato was 2001 250cc World Champion, who was killed racing at Suzuka Japan, in 2003 aged 26.

Thanks for the information. I am a similar vintage - I do remember the racing driver ( Ber vaguely).
