  1. Finally got round to watching this. Fascinating. Thanks for posting.
  2. Haven't seen this news anywhere else on here so thought I'd post this link. Simon suffered a "serious stroke" last week and is currently starting the recovery process. The facebook page has been set up by his family to keep everyone aware of his progress. (13) Facebook
  3. A life well lived who gave an awful lot to Speedway over the (many) years. RIP.
  4. Of Cradley's 1972 team - 4 still with us, Bob Andrews, Roy Trigg, John Hart and Mick Handley. Three sadly not, Bernie, Pete Jarman and Jimmy Squibb.
  5. Whilst Rune was indeed riding under a Polish licence and rode for them in the WTC, he was also conscious that he would have been unlikely to be nominated for a Wild Card as a Pole and was aware that he needed to be a top 8 rider to qualify for the next year's series. Can recall him saying that on one or more occasions in interviews.
  6. A good read as always. Particularly enjoyed reading about the Tigers move to Hampden and how close they were to moving to Cathkin Park.
  7. Congratulations to Garry. Many thanks to R & R for organising.
  8. Yes, I saw him ride when the Lions visited Dudley Wood in 1969. He only got 1 point from 3 rides. but an average of 4.88 in his debut season suggests he would have been a bigger success if he'd returned to these shores. Best remembered I suppose as a member of that 1969 Leicester line up that were all ever presents in the British League.
  9. As ever, a good read. Thank you!
  10. I was there! August 1975. Cradley did it with just 6 riders as well as Sandor Levai withdrew following a first heat fall.
