So NP was good for something then.........................
Very true - it is. At the moment unfortunately - it is extremely difficult to take the Sport seriously.
It is also compared to 'It's a Knockout' with the iniquitous 'Joker' and 'Double Points'.
Briggo, PC, C. Morton, P. Crump (sen), M. Simmons, R. Moore, T. Woffinden, C. Lofqvist, R. Wilson, M. Ashby.
............. and for something different - my top three 'entertainers' from the old Second Division:
Jack 'Crazy Jack' Millen.
Tony Childs.
Robin Adlington.
I find people in Sport in general have long memories.
I've never liked Coventry or Jimmy Hiil since they contrived a late (about 15 minutes) start in a relegation battle in which Sunderland were involved (as usual) Sunderland's game finished at the proper time and Coventry, needing only a point played pass ball for the last 15 minutes or so in order that they got the point they needed.
Bastards!!!
Sky coverage of the Premier League up until now has been very good.
The problem, to me, is they don't share the Meetings around as well as they might.
Just my opinion.
As I said in my earlier Post - I had never met Dennis but had corresponded with him.
Thank you Steve for Posting this - it is nice to put a face to the name.
Again - many thanks.
Ian.
Very, very sad to hear this. I never met 'Merlin' as I knew him. We corresponded a few times on this Forum. His replies to my messages were always kind and friendly and we never had a cross word.
It is a while ago now since we were last in contact.
Rest in Peace. + Dennis - you were what Speedway Supporting was all about.
