Took me a while to work out who you one about, I believe that he had a bad accident a few years back, could anybody tell me what happened to him and how he is now.
-
Try the Speedway Star its self.
-
Sounds painful.

Tigerblade, can you remember Gugiliemi going through the fence at Sheffield with Reg Wilson, I think Gugliiemi broke his arm, but I remember Reg thought he had killed him, along with the rest of us in the stadium.
-
But the guy was a character, and I for one would love to see what has happened to him now, whether he has turned things around.
-
Have to agree with you Howling about Gugliemi, would be a great subject, a truely colourful character.
-
Ivan Mauger is an excellent choice, as is all the other names that have been mentioned, I look forward to the next edition.
-
Well Done to Josh, and all the other riders who took part, this is the best thing to happen to British Speedway in some time. Hope the young guy who was injuried is okay, and not suffered any serious injury.

I would like to see Simmo, interviewed, I am sure that he would a interesting subject, like his fall out with Poole, and the sudden way he retired.

Who Was That On Thursday Night At Owlerton?
spin king replied to Jez's topic in Youth Speedway and Development Leagues
Yes Jason, is a hot prospect and is probably the best out of a grand bunch of youngsters who ride down at the training track. I urge any Sheffield fans to get down and have a look at these youngsters, I think you will all be amazed and happy, as the future looks bright with what we have, not all of them are at Jason standards, but they could be given time and encouragement. I also want to time to say a little about the Sheffield Angels, who are the girls team, they are as good as the lads, and I am sure if there was a ladies league they would be champs. Come on all you Tigers fans get down on Saturday and have look at what there is going on there, the talent is there on show. -

Well done Josh, another fine win. -
Future Looks Bright

For his benefit I am sure that the extra rides for Scuthorpe would be good if he signed for a Premier League outfit. -
Future Looks Bright

I did see him at Sheffield, on Thursday, and if you read my little report on the Sheffield verus Newcastle you will see what I had to say about him. I think for his age and experience the guy is going places, and I still say he could given a good run hold down a Premier League reserve berth. The guy has got talent and the way he held off Paul Cooper in heat 2 show exactly what he can do. Good Luck to the Scorpians, lets hope you can get a win under your belt soon. -
Having read the Speedway Star feature on the Famous Five (one day), I have to say that I hope these guys can go to the top, and with the right backing I think they can, but but the BSPA, need to get behind these riders, and all the rest who are out there. I think we heading in the right direction with the Academy and the Under 15's league long may it reign, but I hope they don't treat it like a quick fix and disband it after a few years. Of the five featured I have seen three riding, young Josh I am not going to talk much about, as I have already said it on another thread. Young Dennis I saw in the opening meeting at Scunthorpe, and he was really good for somebody of his age, I don't think he is that far away if not ready for a Premier League reserve place. The lad Quinn, I have seen at the Sheffield training track and he looks a very tidy rider, given the chance he could do with a Conference League reserve berth, I think all he needs is someone to give him a chance at that level, on an extended basis. The other two I have not seen, but they probably just as talented, either way all these boys need encouraging, so anyone out there who is thinking of sponsoring a rider , think about these boys, they may not be Elite Grand Prix riders, but they could be of the future, so get behind these boys, and the rest who have not been mentioned.

i will go for the boring prediction, either crumpie, or rickardsson, but i want crumpie again.

No problem, like I say I have really been impressed with every youngster down there, but do have to admit that there is a slight biase, as Spin Junior, rides there as well. I know that he has been really please how nice, they have made been to him and how they have encouraged himfrom fellow riders, Roy, Sandra, Peter, James, Track Staff and the Gents on the centre green, all have given words of encouragement. Mind you after this week it is going to cost me a small fortune, when he gets his first bike. -

My question, Matousek is have you been down on Saturday to see this talent, I know people who have gone down and been surprise at the talent on show. -

spin king replied to Phil's topic in Youth Speedway and Development Leagues
Nothing like a bit of encouragement, Matousek, I think you need to get down there on Saturday, and talk to these kids. They are a great bunch kids who all look out for each other and encourage each other, there are no primma donnas with this lot, not to mention that they are really talented, okay some might fall by the wayside but if we can get one or two that graduate up and ride for the team then it has been a success for Sheffield Speedway, and when it happens mate I will be looking for you, because you are going to appologies to these youngsters. -

Have to agree with you there Angel, have been down most Saturday's with Spin Junior, there are talented riders, at the training track, and for me you and girls are really talented, and I don't think any of you let yourselves down Scunthorpe, I think you really did well. I urge anybody to go down to Sheffield training track to see these youngsters, they all really love there speedway, but first and foremost they have fun, and all watch out for each other.l -

This is what I have been saying all along, you have to see him riding in flesh to appreciate how good he really is. Have to say that he does not get the press that he should, come the guy is a British Champ. -
Did not Les Coliins finish runner up in the World Championship as a Leicester rider.
