Leon Camier - Personal Life

Personal Life

Camier is the son of David and Katie. His distant paternal ancestors were French Huguenots although several generations of the family lived in Cork, Ireland. His appreciation of the music of Jack Johnson has been mentioned on ITV's racing coverage. He also enjoys the likes of System of a Down and Linkin Park. At 6'2", he is tall for his profession which has its disadvantages over advantages, significantly. According to ITV's coverage, he has a habit of walking around circuits the evening before races with the aim of spotting extra details about the track. This is a habit picked up from his Grasstrack days where this behaviour is usual. His nickname is Shafter. As well as racing, Leon also enjoyed playing football as a youngster (playing for an Ashford based club called Bliby).

Famous quotes related to personal life:

    Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters ‘woman’s peculiar sphere,’ her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.
    Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
