  1. If I recall he upset Bob Dugard on one occasion at Arlington when he was the referee and Bob wanted him banned from officiating at future meetings there...and of course Reg once rode for the "Eagles!"
  2. I seem to recall seeing a recent photo of him at a reunion? Remember watching Paul graduate at Arlington and onto Oxford and eventually White City where a badly broken ankle in 1977 curtailed his season. Broke his leg riding for Mildenhall in 1978 and never appeared again if memory serves?
  3. Mike was a favourite of mine...remember reading he attempted to run Ian Thomas down on the centre green on one occasion!
  4. Too many to choose from but I would guess Gordon Kennett and later Hans Nielsen who both left me with some great memories.
  5. Reg Trott as an ex rider made some bad calls in my memory.
  6. Chris Blewitt was apparently somewhat questionable both on and off the track
  7. Scott was one of three who came over in 1973. The other two were Sumner McNight and Rick Woods but neither stayed very long. If I recall Woods returned home after he learned that he wasn't eligible to take part in the World Championship?
  8. Sad news indeed. Remember him as a "Rebel" and often created a talking point with his no nonsense approach to his racing. Recently met someone who was in the same class as him at school. RIP
  9. I recall that a rider could be excluded for "boring" (I'll ignore some of the comments this may raise!) meaning a rider didn't actually have to make contact but a move that causes another rider to fall. I remember Malcolm Ballard once being excluded under the rule when in a race with Howard Cole causing him to fall when closing him down but without making physical contact
