The White Knight

I hope you didn't set them on fire ls. :shock: :D

The late Vic Harding - former Sunderland 'Gladiators/Stars' and Hackney 'Hawks' Rider. Tragically killed in a Track accident at Hackney. May he Rest in Peace. +

No, actually it isn't. Though I admit that I didn't like that either. I didn't like the way that he ended his Career. I was disgusted with him then and am disgusted with him now.

Wasn't Gordon a Belle Vue Rider? I never actually saw him race, but I have read about him.

Haha!!! :rofl:

I think Crewe was the biggest ever Track in this Country Sidney. It states 475 yards on here - see 'Link': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crewe_Stadium But I was always under the impression it was 440 yards. Still very big.

Well let's all hope that Speedway is taking them (BT) seriously too. This has all of the hallmarks of 'Last Chance Saloon'.

I thought long and hard about that. I allowed my prejudice against him to rule my head. I still do. So, the answer to your question is No!! No Penhall.

Was it ever thus? :sad:

Once again I agree steve. Mainly because I can't think of anyone else. At a Crewe 'Kings' Reunion we shared a taxi with Taffy Owen and Peter Kelly. What a couple of characters they were. Wonderful fellows and wonderful memories.

A lot of people already have given up in despair. :sad:

This would be my best quintet too. Very difficult to argue with it to be honest.

Not your fault at all steve. I should have been more careful in reading the Thread Titles. Never mind though there is always someone who will put me right isn't there whka1?

Not Dom Perignon? I wonder what his champagne moment was? Only kidding gustix. One of a number of good Threads at the moment.

I am so sorry. Aren't we being just a little pedantic here. I put the exact same List on both Threads because I thought they were in essence, the same. I've just reread the Thread Titles - I have obviously misread the Title of one of them. I will try not to do it again. BUT - I'm sure if I do that you will be the first to point it out to me.

Absolutely SPOT ON!!!! :approve:

I haven't seen him at all norbold. I read about him a long time ago. I'm talking many years, and that is what I mean't. My memory of what I read must be wrong.

Oh - Fisher as well - I think. :unsure:

Love and agree with that. Freiherr Manfred von Richthofen would have had a smile at that too. http://www.history.com/topics/world-war-i/manfred-baron-von-richthofen

I don't know of any Irish Riders to be totally honest.

Eric Chitty I can only name the one as he is the only one I have heard of.
