Can anbody tell did a rider called Howard Cole ever ride for the Heathens.

Here is some more Steve Gresham, Phil Herne,The Late Chris Pusey, Ian Turner and Neil Collins.

Bruce Penhall in Porn movies, what ever next.

Sorry forgot about Mr Louis and Betts, but does reserve count.

What about Phil Collins, Reg Wilson, Terry Betts, Arnie Haley, Alan Wilkinson, John Louis and Peter Carr.

Thanks for that, nice to see Phil looking fit and healthy, just has a little less hair than I remember.

Are you sure? Didn't his non-riding brother Gary appear in a TV ad? No I am absolutely certain ,cause I remember it was such a big sponsorship for such a novice, think he got it because he was such a good looking chappie.

Tony Briggs was used to advertised Brut after shave.

Don't remember Sigalos or Michanek riding for Wolves, if Sigalos did it must have been when he was way past his best.

Well before my time but would have a stab at Southampton

Total guess Ivan Mauger

Ditto to that

Fond memories of Cradley Heath, every season they put out a championship challenging side, even though they had to change there side every year because of the points limit, it used to be 50 points or under for each team. We used to love it when came to Sheffield because if we beat them then it was feather in our caps.

Yeah don't care what they say don't make riders like they used to. :D

Ole Olsen, Hans Nielsen, Finn Thomson, erm, now I'm struggling. Hans Daniellsson? And, would I be right in thinking Erik Gundersen turned out for Wolves ever so briefly before Cradley? Could have any of Neils Weiss, Johannes Fransden, Leif Berlin, Knud Ellegaard Preben Erikson rode for the Wolves I believe

If anybody else wants to contribute to this with any other former rider keep them coming. I think now we have exhausted the who was the best Collins brother question.

Another name to add to the list Joe Owen.

Yes Peter was probably better, rider, but for a racer Phil for me was a better racer, and was more exciting and more unpredictable, than Peter.

Could not agree more, Phil Collins was fine racer and on his day could beat anyone.

Phil Collins, what rider, of all the collins clan for me Phil was the most spectaular, he was an absolute joy to watch, he obviously settle in the States. I like a lot of people thought he would be the best of the clan, but some how he never for one reason or another fullfilled his true potential. WHAT A RACER

Eric Broadbelt kenny Carter Reg Wilson Steve Gresham Arnie Haley Henny Kroeze Gary Gugliemi All Iron MEN.

Chris Morton selling insurance, god whats the world coming to, I remember at my home club Sheffield blasting around the boards,absolutely hopless out of the gate but an extremely great passer. You did him complain about the track, been unfair to home riders, mind you not many opposing riders did.

Shawn and Kelly Moran, Peter Collins, Chris Morton, Phil Collins, Bruce Penhall, Kenny Carter, Hans Nielson, Erik Gunderson, Mike Lee, Ivan Mauger, Simon Wigg, Billy Saunders, Jim Airey, Doug Wyer, Reg Wilson.

Yes, I remember Doug, well both him and Reg Wilson carried Sheffield for sometime in the Mid Seventies. There was Doug in his white leathers with the flowing tassles on the arms of his leathers, he was a joy to watch. Eric like everybody says was as strong as an ox, I once saw lift his whole of bike of a trailer as if it was nothing,and believe when he did crash the doctors did say that it was only his fitness that saved him. Memories Memories

Can anybody tell me whatever happened to the following; Shawn Moran Doug Wyer Bernie Persson Eric Broadbelt Roman Matousek All ex Sheffield riders who I was just wondered what had happened to them.
