How come every single thread on this Forum finishes up with you and Shazzy having a pop at each other?

Yes, of course you can use it. But stop confusing me with Liontamer... :roll: I was there that night too, I would have been 14. Perhaps we met by the Supporters' Club kiosk or in the stands or by the fence or...... Keep up the good work with the web sites. Who's next?

Yes, I would be happy to help Jim. The only problem is, is that I am just about to jet off to the Antipodes for a month. If you can wait I'll do it when I come back. Actually, come to think of it, I did write a short appraisal a little while back on the old Forum. Maybe Phil could find it for you...if you ask nicely ;-) Now then, back to the Ove Fundin question. Are you talking about the meeting on 28 June 1961? Our Split did indeed beat Ove twice in the match and once in the second half, but Ove did have his revenge in the second half final, beating Split in to second place. But it was one of those all too rare occasions down the Old Kent Road when Split showed something of the form that took him to the runner-up spot twice in the World Championship in the early 50s. He scored a paid maximum that night. Happy days!

Why didn't he ever tell the West Ham programme compiler then?

Yes, but New Cross had packed up by the time he won.

Very sad to hear the news that Ken McKinlay died over the weekend. One of the top 50s/60s riders and a really excellent team man. He will be sadly missed.

What match was that then? New Cross were in the Provincial League in 1963. Also Ove wouldn't have been the World Champion in 1963 as Peter Craven won in 1962.

I've got to go to Canterbury tomorrow. I'm appearing in the Crown Court....as a witness.

Nice site, Bomber. I do have a number of photographs of Romford riders. I'll send them to you when I can.
