I did indeed sydney - I can't remember how he rode that day but he was certainly in the Eastbourne Team.
I was a big Fan of Vic Harding, he was a super lad who always made time to talk to Supporters.
So sad that he lost his life at Hackney - I thought that he showed great promise.
Much missed by Sunderland Supporters by the way.
R.I.P. + Vic.
Thanks for that sidney - I was beginning to doubt my ailing memory even further.
I think Jimmy Sqibb wore dark purple leathers and sported a very piratical beard.
Jim Squibb was still riding in the Seventies. For Eastbourne if I remember correctly in the National League Division Two.
Unless there was another Jimmy Squibb?
I hope everyone will excuse the language but what a bloody good Thread this is.
I am learning/have learn't a heck of a lot from it.
Special thanks to both gustix for starting the Thread and for his Lists. Thank you too to norbold for his Lists also.
By golly there are some memories stirred reading through these names.
Once more the Newcastle Promotion has come up with the goods.
Robert Lambert is a brilliant signing for the 'Diamonds' and I am looking forward to seeing who will complete the Team.
Congratulations to the Promotion - they deserve to succeed.
Like all youngsters - he must be given a decent run and not get discarded after a couple of failures.
This has happened to far too many British Riders in the past.....
I am, of course, talking about all British Speedway Teams and not specifically Redcar.
Nothing wrong with Newcastle Supporters.
They even used to let me in (and out again) - and I am a Mackem.
Hopefully they will do again when/if I can return.
