Graeme Smith (Canterbury/Sunderland), Trevor Geer (Eastbourne), Richard Greer (Peterborough), Bruce Forrester (Teeside) and Doug Wyer (Berwick).
Those are my five favourite Riders - however I must also mention one Rider who was usually worth the admission money alone and that was 'Crazy' Jack ('Millen the Villain') Millen (Crewe/Sunderland). Probably the MOST entertaining Rider I have ever seen and we were VERY fortunate to have seen his BEST years at Sunderland. When you mention Speedway to folk in Sunderland today - Jack Millen is the name that still comes up. Amazing when you consider that we haven't had a Track for FORTY years.
My five top Riders were more skillful and stylish than Jack - but - if you desperately needed Points - Jack was the man to get them - one way or another.
