I have just added the following to my illustrated blog at

Arthur Carden of Horsham, England.
A remarkable John Carden
A solicitor by trade, John Carden, of Mottram St Andrew, Cheshire, England
loved racing; first cars at Silverstone and later horses round Aintree. But
a tragic fall at an amateur hurdles race 17 years ago left him paralysed
from the neck down and dependent on an iron lung and round-the-clock care.
Thanks to a ventilated wheelchair, he continued in law, representing Ken
Dodd, Alex Higgins, George Best and cyclist Reg Harris.
He died in July 2010 aged 73.
A note about his brother Ted (and his Carden Car) appears later in this
blog.
These two remarkable Cardens descend from a Lincolnshire branch called the
Cardens of Rigsby. A document on the branch is available from Arthur Carden.
