I tīmata ōna raruraru i te 1974 World Championships, i reira i mawehe atu ai ia i mua i te tīmatanga o te whakataetae, a hoki ana ki Bristol ki te whai i tana tuatahi o nga pokanga meniscus e rua i puta mai i muri tonu i te
1977 World Championships i te wa i pakaru ai tana whekau waewae maui, ka piri ki te waahi. I te tau 1980, i whakahaeretia e ia tētahi mahi nui i runga i tōna turi maui, i tōna turi matau.
