I declare open

the Olympic Games of Los Angeles.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

How do you pay for the games?

You pay for them

with television rights

which basically comes

from television advertising.

And you pay for them from commercial sponsors

and ticket prices.

We received an unsolicited bid

from a broadcaster in Italy

for $10 million

for the rights to televise

the games of the 23rd Olympiad

just that country alone.

(GUN FIRES)

Ron Brown on the inside,

Graddy in the middle.

Here comes Lewis on the outside.

Carl Lewis wins the gold!

I always believed in television right from the start.

Our future was through television.

(THEME MUSIC)

What I'd like to do

is to bring the public

into the racing more.

Let's get some cameras

into the pits.

(ENGINES REV)

Half the time the commentators don't know which car it is,

in what position it is, and who's driving the car, you know.

I think, television coverage at the moment is very poor.

This is unusual.

They're watering down the tunnel

so that the road surface will be

the same inside the tunnel and out.

In most sports the word teammate means somebody

who's on your side, an ally.

In the world of grand prix racing,

your teammate may be

your bitterest enemy.

(ENGINES REV)

And there they go!

They're racing in the rain in Monte Carlo.

Prost in the lead up front.

What a move! Niki Lauda...

Pulling from eight place to third place.

(ENGINES REV)

We have the two McLarens running 1-2.

Lauda himself however being closely pursued now

by young Ayrton Senna of Brazil.

Look here comes Senna, young Senna of Brazil!

Does he make? Yes, yes!

He's past Niki Lauda.

Senna is in second place in the race.

Very positive move from a very young driver.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Oh! And there's somebody spin.

Niki Lauda spun off.

Prost still leads in the McLaren.

That is Ayrton Senna,

a 24 year old driver from Brazil in second place

and closing in on the leader.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

There's the red flag. They're gonna stop the race.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

I think, the decision

to stop the race was very good

and was very safe.

He was much quicker than me,

but the track was so slippery,

so, when I see that

Senna was behind me

it's not (INAUDIBLE) for the Championship,

it has no point at the moment.

So, I have already decided

if he was just behind me

I would let him pass.

It was much better for me

to get some points for the Championship

and not to win the race.

(INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT)

(SOFT MUSIC)

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

A lot of the broadcasters always wanted to show Monaco.

And now go to four! Good.

So, they said, "Well, we don't need to see Sweden.

"There's not a big crowd goes there anyway,

"so, we don't think that's terribly important."

So, I said, "Well,

"whether you think so or whether you don't,

"if you're gonna broadcast Formula One

"you have to broadcast the World Championship

"wherever the races are placed.

"That's how it is."

Now, the problem with that was all very nice,

but I had to make sure that happened.

If the promoters were going to say, "We're not running this race

because we haven't sold any tickets and there's not much interest,

make sure and I used to help a little bit

with sort of semi-bankrolling some of the promoters

to make sure the race did take place

whether it was bad for them or not.

We had to make sure that we made it good for them

one way or another.

So, I wanted all races to start

at 2pm European time on a Sunday.

Bernie, I gather you have a plan-B ready to put into effect.

I don't know anything about it sorry.

So, everybody knew if you wanted to follow Formula One,

it wasn't too difficult to find out what time it would be broadcast

in the country where you were,

which obviously was a bit difficult for America.

I made absolutely sure

that there was what was commonly known as free-to-air broadcasting

by the host broadcaster

from the country

where we were racing.

And you could switch a television on without paying

and watch Formula One.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Third British Grand Prix victory.

More points than anyone in history

and you've closed up on the World Championship,

which gives you the most pleasure?

A close up on the Championship

because that's important to me

because I only finished

three races so far,

so, I had to make up a lot of points.

Thank god I made them today.

Niki Lauda crosses the line,

raises his hand,

wins the Austrian Grand Prix,

takes the lead in the World Championship.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Niki Lauda has made in five wins this year.

Do you know the problem with Prost's car?

I don't know.

How much does that worry you

when you see your teammate in an identical car go out?

Not at all because it doesn't mean my car has to go.

Doesn't mean you're gonna go out.

A very interesting situation

with Niki Lauda starting 11th on the grid,

Prost up at the front,

remember that Niki's task

is really to try and follow

Alain Prost home,

if Prost wins Niki has to be second.

I have to win.

I have to work much better

than another race

and I am relaxed

because I think everything is going to happen very well.

Alain Prost with a clear track in front of him

is pulling away in the lead.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

And Lauda, with one move, is up into fourth position.

Prost is leading the championship by 2.5 points.

It's getting very, very tight indeed.

I think, Mansell's in trouble,

and I think Lauda might have passed him.

He is.

Niki Lauda has moved up into second position

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Alain Prost to cross the line

and take the chequered flag

to win in Portugal,

but ironically

very, very sadly from his point of view,

providing Niki Lauda appears in the next 15 seconds or so,

and there he is.

There is the world champion of 1984

for the third time

in his magnificent career.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I lost the Championship this year but I did a fantastic season,

I won seven races, not very lucky,

but I am more happy than the other drivers

in Formula One at the moment except Niki today.

To win the championship you need some luck

and I think Niki had a little bit of luck this year.

And I did a normal season and Niki was a bit lucky.

But that's alright, and that's life.

You can do nothing about that.

We've got two of the best drivers

in the world.

One of them had to be second

in the world championship

but I don't think anyone lost today.

I think they both did a fantastic job.

Obviously super for McLaren.

Ron was over the moon with this.

But in the end,

one has to wonder if it was such a good thing

even back those days

for a team to be so dominant.

Bernie, it's been a great year

and congratulations on it

and we look forward

to another season led by FOCA

and Bernie Ecclestone.

Thanks a lot. And I hope the...

You've done a superb job for us with ESPN

and I hope all the viewers of ESPN

have been happy with what they've seen.

(CHEERS)

I think, it's gonna be a very, very close fought world championship

with a lot of team winning races.

I don't think we're gonna have the McLaren domination

that we had in 1984.

I think, we're gonna see five

or six teams winning races in '85.

(SOFT MUSIC)

(ENGINE REVS)

And nine points in the Championship,

this is the way it all started last year.

Yes, it's very good but last year I was not very lucky.

I think, this year should be better.

Early days was always a bit of a problem

with the television or the broadcasters

concerning about the signage.

Upset me as well

because when the promoters used to do the signage,

they used to have names and things

on bits of canvas

wrapped round the guard rails

and things like that...

My personal view

which was which was dangerous

as well as being not at all nice.

And very, very often it used to have signs

in the middle of the circuits

so the camera caught all the signage.

Actually, the signage was put there for that very reason,

which the TV people wasn't too happy about

and quite rightly so too.

Philip Morris were then the biggest people

for our sponsorship and our signage.

So, I spoke to Paddy McNally who was dealing with these things,

and I said to him, "Well,

"why don't you leave Philip Morris

"and you start a business

"doing signage?"

He had enough courage early on

to take on something that people

didn't quite realise at the time,

how valuable it was.

The signage would be seen worldwide.

And the value of signage just went up year by year

because the more eyeballs

that was watching their signage,

the more valuable it is.

And I said to him,

"What I don't want to see is too many sponsors,

"let's say six major sponsors and that's it.

"All these other little sponsors looks a bit scruffy."

(SOFT MUSIC)

All the effort and the years

that I have put behind motor racing,

since four years old,

are giving me something good back.

Not just for me,

but especially for all Brazilians.

Hello everyone, I'm Jackie Stewart.

You know, the paddock here

is home away from home if you like

for this travelling circus

of grand prix folk.

These motorhomes provide food, refreshments and rest

for the team personnel, for the sponsors, and for the press.

Williams at the time bought a double-decker bus

and wanted to set that up for entertaining clients,

have a kitchen on board and god knows what else.

And I said to Frank, "You can't have that.

"It's not the sort of thing we want to show to people".

So, Frank said to me at the time, "Well, this isn't Ascot.

"This is motor racing."

I said, "Well, it should be like Ascot."

So, I said to McNally,

"You ought to do this Patrick

"because it's part of your sponsorship,

"you can look after your sponsors as well."

So, that's how we got the paddock club.

(ENGINE REVS)

I felt there was a couple of things

that were quite important

as far as Formula One goes in television,

but certainly very important was our onboard cameras.

But they had a lot of trouble with the vibration

and all those sort of problems.

So, we had a big problem to solve which we did solve.

And gradually year by year or month by month even,

the cameras got better, and better, and better.

There was a little bit of a discussion early on

about where we'd put the cameras

in the cars that people thought they'd influence

the aerodynamics of the car.

So, I said, "Well, we'll put

"dummy cameras on all of the cars

"without live cameras."

Hesnault is looking for a way to overtake

and there we see him complete the manoeuvre.

Cost is of consequence.

Satisfaction is vital.

I was doing more and more running things in Formula One,

so, I think, slowly but surely

the team was losing its edge.

And Nelson was thinking, "Maybe I've been around too long,

"maybe I should move onto somewhere else."

So, he was weighing up the ideas of a divorce from Brabham.

When I got married to Slavica,

it was in the registry office.

And we realised I was told

we needed a witness early on,

we'd need a witness.

So, I said, OK.

So, I took the cleaner that we had at the time,

appeared at the registrar office,

and suddenly I found out

'cause I hadn't spoken to the cleaner before

that she didn't speak English.

So, the registrar thought this wasn't really the right way to go

and said, "Well, I'm sorry but we can't do this."

So, I said, "Well, hang on, I'll find somebody."

So, I rang Max Mosley,

I said, "Max, is your secretary busy for a minute?"

And he said, "I don't know. Why?

"What...what...what do you want?"

I said, "Could she pop to the registry office

'cause I'm getting married, and I need a witness

"if you can spare her for half-an-hour or something?"

So, she duly arrived and she was the witness.

No photographers. No photographs in or out.

No things thrown up in the air and all that nonsense.

So, I got signed the forms whatever it was,

and that was it.

Thought we ought to go to lunch maybe.

I went to and said,

"Let's go dinner out to Langham's actually as it was."

Got in the car and drove there and they were busy,

so, I said, "Oh, forget it," and went back to the office.

What is it Nigel,

about Brands Hatch, that seems

to bring out the very best in you?

Well, I think, any British circuit

brings out the best in every

British driver, you know,

just performing in front

of our home crowd.

Now, the world champion designate question mark,

Alain Prost sixth on the grid.

He can't possibly lose the World Championship today,

he can only win it.

How he stands the pressure I do not know.

Prost left very badly at the start.

He got the car right onto the grass with the left-hand wheels

but as you can see, it's Senna leading.

As the lead changes momentarily, and off spins Rosberg,

and into him goes Nelson Piquet!

Rosberg trying to take Senna goes off.

Piquet has stalled.

Yes, what a shame that was poor Nelson Piquet.

Got his front wing that has been knocked off the car,

so, even if he could restart,

he wouldn't be in very competitive shape.

Keke Rosberg away he goes

after a very long pit stop

by today's standards.

And in fact Rosberg has lost pretty much exactly a lap.

That's him in front of the leaders.

Senna and Nigel Mansell in second place.

Keke Rosberg holding up Ayrton Senna.

Rosberg is angry with Senna, there's no doubt about that.

Well, look at this!

A terrific scrap for the leader and there's a change

because the Williams has gone past Ayrton Senna

who has therefore lost the lead and he has lost it to Nigel Mansell.

Mansell took advantage of his teammate Keke Rosberg

holding up Ayrton Senna.

I think, Rosberg feels that Senna shut the door on him

pretty fiercely in that incident just a couple of laps ago.

And there is father Mansell, looks very happy indeed.

Prost is catching and goes through.

And Alain Prost not only goes past De Angelis, but laps Watson

and the red and white Marlboro McLaren

of Frenchman number-2 Alain Prost

is now on his way virtually to World Championship certainty.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

And just as Niki Lauda won the championship

for Marlboro McLaren in 1984.

So, now, does Alain Prost do so for the Marlboro-McLaren team?

And there they are!

They know what they've done!

What about the reception of this crowd?

They're just unbelievable.

I mean, if anybody's won the race for me today it's...

it's the people out there.

They've just been unbelievable.

I mean, in the last few laps I could just see 'em.

I mean, it was just extraordinary.

Best feeling I've ever had in my life.

What does it mean to you to be

the first Frenchman ever to win the Grand Prix World Championship,

a country that gave us the name 'Grand Prix'.

I know that it is very important

for the French people,

but I think for me

it's important to win the championship.

I don't care too much if I'm French or not.

I think, I'm not too nationalist, it's a shame,

but I'm very happy for them anyway because, I mean... if...

The problem is if I am world champion

it's because of my English team and all the things.

I don't want to be too concentrated

on one country

because I am world champion

and it's... all the world is...is...is mine,

I mean, it's not only one country.

Niki Lauda!

Niki Lauda! Niki Lauda! Niki Lauda!

My own personal view

is that there is no way

we should go.

But like everybody else I'm under contract

as a professional race car driver.

The race is being held, so, therefore I'm going.

I had some...

some problems with my government

but the commitments with my team

were greater and I had to fulfil them,

that's why I'm here.

I pulled the race from South Africa.

I'd been talking to Nelson and I said,

"I don't know if we're going the right direction for you.

"You used to drive in a winning team,

"and it doesn't look like we're in the position

"of being a winning team again."

"So, I said, "Well, have you been offered anything?"

And he told me...

he said, "Well, Frank has contacted me."

He had enough courage early on

And he told me, "I think it was a little bit over a million."

I said, "Well, why don't you explain

"that I've offered you 1.6 million or 1.7 million?"

I said, "It might encourage them to offer you a bit more,

"then maybe you ought to take it,"

which is exactly what happened.

Frank was there at the test

'cause he was obviously

very keen to see exactly,

not only what was going on

but how the drivers were reacting with each other.

But then he had a car accident on the way back.

I sent the plane to him, to Ricard, to bring him back.

And Sid Watkins immediately put him into hospital.

And Sid thought Frank was in pretty bad shape.

And he wasn't particularly gonna come out of hospital.

Just didn't believe it.

I was very happy

to have Elio on board with us.

Charming guy, very talented,

and there was no reason why Elio in the right car at the right time

wouldn't easily have won the World Championship.

What strengths do you think you've brought to the Brabham team?

A lot of motivations.

And do you have any predictions

for the first Grand Prix?

Well, I hope to be there,

but we still it's a long way to go and for us, I mean, to the...

for the development.

I could...I could do well even in the first Grand Prix, yes.

(ENGINE REVS)

Gordon threw himself

into another car.

Completely different type and style

which had it all worked

it would have been something quite super special.

Unfortunately it didn't work.

Nelson Piquet wins the 1986 Brazilian Grand Prix.

And you will hear the crowd go absolutely mad.

That day was the inevitable result

of 27 years of whole in the driving.

I was laying there on the ground

while the ambulance took about

an hour to get there.

I couldn't feel very much except my hands and arms,

which were burning as if I'd fallen off a bicycle

and got gravel, you know, ripped the skin off.

I feel normal and maybe not quite

as mobile as I would like to be

but I'm enjoying being here

very, very much indeed,

and I'm glad that the team

is going very well without me

because I do also at the same time feel a bit rusty.

Everything's happening a bit quickly for me.

And tremendous stuff this by the two Williams cars.

They're involved in what is a very, very important personal battle.

Mansell, who has started the season as the number-2 driver,

Piquet was brought in for the big money.

And Piquet now is indulging in a showdown

to try and re-establish himself as number-1.

And the fact that their car at the moment,

seems to be the class of the field

means that their most important battle is with each other.

Mansell looks now as if he's beginning to make

a bid for the lead.

And there he goes.

Lap 23, Nigel Mansell leads the British Grand Prix.

Knocked out. This is too much for me.

Really nice, thanks. And welcome back.

That's very kind, thank you. It's good to be back.

And Mansell is the winner!

Great stuff!

He's extended the Williams' Constructors' Championship lead

and the crowd is on their feet!

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Nigel Mansell, that really was quite

one of the most remarkable races I have ever seen.

Nigel, you have any problems?

I didn't want to lose.

(LAUGHS)

Tell me, I don't honestly believe

that Piquet gave you an inch.

No, but he gave me half an inch.

(LAUGHTER)

Nelson Piquet, what can you explain about this race?

OK, it's not a it's not a question.

What do you want to ask me? Well...

I have a million things I can explain to you about the race

but what do you want to know?

Which kind of problems did you have?

I didn't have any problems.

The car was good all the way through.

Why Mansell, don't you have any...

didn't you have any problem when Mansell passed you?

No, no. He was quicker than me.

He had more power to overtake me and pass me.

Do you think you can take the title yet?

Don't know.

If I have a crystal ball, I don't do a race you know.

I have to wait and see.

I do the best I can.

OK, thank you. Thank you.

The Italian Formula One driver Elio de Angelis

is still fighting for his life following the horrific accident

while testing his Brabham BMW in France.

De Angelis lost control of the car at 170mph

at the Paul Ricard circuit.

The car spun, cartwheeled and turned upside down

before bursting into flames,

It was several minutes before de Angelis could be lifted

from the wreckage.

He was given the kiss of life before being flown to hospital.

Somebody who was at the test session

which we had at Ricard that time just told me

exactly what had happened.

And it wasn't a maybe or anything.

He'd actually died there.

(INDISTINCT TALK)

Gordon was obviously upset.

The designer is hurt more than anyone.

We're all hurt.

But you have to start thinking,

"It was my fault that this happened and we lost somebody."

I could see Gordon was losing

his enthusiasm a little bit and his touch.

And he wanted to leave.

So, he left and went to McLaren.

Generally, I think, our team went

downhill because Gordon inspired people

and we all looked up to him as being a genius.

So, when the genius is gone,

suddenly you haven't got a team anymore.

And I decided it was the time to sell Brabham.

Brabham was always a fighting team,

fighting against the odds...

and it had lost.

Alfa Romeo had bought the company,

so, that was Brabham out of Formula One.

We generally thought, and particularly with Jean-Marie,

that the cars were getting too quick.

I said, "Let's get rid of the turbo".

As usual, the teams that were super competitive

wasn't at all happy.

And the ones that weren't were delighted.

'86 was probably a golden year.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

Any of those guys could have easily won the championship.

('SUPERFLY' BY CURTIS MAYFIELD PLAYS)

# Darkest of night

# With the moon shining bright

# There's a set goin' strong

Senna moves across, he's keeping Mansell back,

Alain Prost has won the 1986

# Ah-ha-ha

# Superfly

He's in a beautiful position to pass Prost.

And he does it, Nigel Mansell from the Isle of Man.

# Tryin' ta get over

# Tryin' ta get over

# Tryin' ta get over

And Nelson got round the outside of it.

Oh!

That was a superb bit of driving.

# Tryin' ta get over... #

I wanted to make sure that we had a World Championship,

not a European Championship.

And I was very, very interested to see if we could expand

Formula One throughout the world.

John Bannon,

the Premier of South Australia,

wanted to have a meeting with me.

So, I said, "Fine."

Thinking perhaps he expected me to go to Australia to meet him.

But he duly appeared at our office in Chessington

and introduced his self.

I said, "Let's go down the pub and have lunch."

The city of churches will reverberate

with the sound of the world's best drivers

competing in the world's best cars for the World Championship.

Basically he wanted to put Adelaide on the map.

And it was a very, very, very successful race.

In fact, I said we'd never ever leave Adelaide

as long as John is in charge there.

Adelaide alive is the catchphrase of the Grand Prix.

This has been a marvellous activity to be involved in.

It's had its risks,

but to bring it off and be part of that

has been great.

Adelaide was one of those circuits that everyone enjoyed.

And from my point of view,

I had another interest.

They had the best Thai restaurant I'd ever been to.

If Mansell can just finish

in the top three,

then he becomes the first

British World Champion

since James Hunt ten years ago.

Does it worry you starting

side by side with your teammate?

Will you let him go into the first

corner first if he's really

pushing for it?

I am delighted

because I mean,

you couldn't have someone better next to you than your teammate.

And he's got to win the race,

so, the last thing he'll be doing

is sort of dicing at the first corner.

I'm gonna try to push Mansell out and try to win the race.

What do you do about Prost?

How are you gonna push him out as well?

No, I don't need to push him out, he will finish behind me.

I don't care too much about winning or losing.

I mean...I mean, it's not traumatic,

but I'd like to win.

We made sure it was shown live worldwide.

First of all, congratulations

for being with us

at this unearthly hour.

And whether you made it via

the late-night movie,

the all-night party or the simple alarm clock,

let's hope the reward is a race to remember

and that world title at last for Britain's Nigel Mansell.

And it was a good race.

And its go!

And a superb start from Nigel Mansell.

Senna goes through into second place ahead of Piquet.

And Senna is challenging for the start and he goes through,

and he takes the lead! Senna takes the lead.

Piquet going through and trying to take Senna.

One Brazilian passes another

and we've got a third leader

before even one lap has been completed.

And off spins Piquet!

Wowee!

Now, Piquet goes off.

Prost goes through.

(SOFT MUSIC)

And look at that!

That is Mansell!

That is Nigel Mansell and the car absolutely shattered.

He's fighting for control.

(SOFT MUSIC)

Into the pits goes Piquet.

Nelson was running

the same tyres as Mansell.

And I wouldn't be at all surprised

if his team didn't call him in.

Within sight of his 25th Grand Prix, his second World Championship,

an absolutely superb achievement.

You have seen the crowd rising to this popular little Frenchman

who has demonstrated yet again that he is the driver of the day.

And he takes the chequered flag.

He wins the Australian Grand Prix.

He wins the World Championship of 1986!

Absolute euphoria in the McLaren pit.

If somebody was writing a script to make a film,

That's how they'd finish the Championship in that way.

It's even better that I could think.

Much, much better than the one last year

but I knew that I need luck,

a little bit of luck to win this Championship,

and I had some luck today.

Well, I'm very sorry for Nigel

because I know

how it is to lose

a Championship on the last race

and I'm very sorry for him,

it must be very hard.

Alain Prost was the best driver.

(SOFT MUSIC)

(LOUD BLAST)

In the first timed practice,

Nelson Piquet had an absolutely colossal crash

at over 200 mph.

It cannot be a mistake because it's a...

It's a straight line. It's a...

It's a long left corner for that reason, something happened.

I don't know, it's difficult to say.

He certainly lost a lot of his performance after that.

This is where Mansell will be

looking to challenge.

Piquet will hold the inside line.

Oh!

And Mansell's through and a tremendous drive by Nigel

but that really was a bad mistake by Piquet.

He just opened the door again.

NEWS: One driver with a multi-million dollar paycheque.

But in reality his performances have been eclipsed

by teammate Nigel Mansell.

Piquet says that the supposed number one

and number two driver situation doesn't exist.

And rivalry between the two drivers is encouraged by the team.

But it's a dangerous practice in Piquet's eyes.

We lost the Championship last year because we fight each other.

We take points from each other.

Maybe we can lose the Championship again this year for that reason.

But that is...it's Frank Williams' decision.

Nigel was quicker than Nelson, but one can't help that.

He is quicker most of the time.

You cannot say better driver or worse driver,

because I can say I win two Championships

and Nigel lost one.

Nelson was a very thoughtful driver

and he realised what wins a World Championship

is the guy that finishes with the most points.

Mansell has won the British Grand Prix!

Nelson Piquet finishes in second place.

So, he drove then for the rest of the year

doing exactly that.

Collecting points.

BBC: We begin our coverage

of the whole of the 1987

Japanese Grand Prix.

Nelson Piquet has already won

the World Championship of 1987

as a result of Nigel Mansell's

practice crash on Friday.

(LOUD THUD)

(SOFT MUSIC)

Mansell mercifully

was not badly injured.

Some consolation for team owner Frank Williams.

I think, it probably became clear to the audience

that they want to know what's going on in Formula One.

So, we should broadcast all the practice sessions,

so, people could see exactly what actually was going on.

Not just for the race.

Talented people are useful in any business.

And the FIA needed these sort of people.

And I said to Jean-Marie,

"Max is out there.

"You ought to find a way

"to get him into the FIA

"to help Formula One basically,

"which was my main interest.

"It'd be good for you 'cause he speaks French

"apart from German and a few other languages."

Max became poacher

turned gamekeeper.

Between Max and Jean-Marie,

they thought it'd be useful if they could recruit me

because I understood both of those people very well.

I'd said that nobody had heard about the federation

and it's about time we let the world know exactly

who they are and who FOCA is

'cause it was always a bit of a muddle.

I probably didn't need much convincing

'cause I thought it was a good thing to do.

So, I became

Vice President Promotion Affairs.

I was in fact both poacher and gamekeeper.
