Looking at various "legitimate" sources, they were definitely The Saints in 1964.

But you went on to become a household name as an author!

Pity you never got there; it was a fantastic place to watch speedway.

As far as I know, Andrzej is still with us...

Sad to hear of the passing of Ian Williams, the third of three famous racing brothers. Ian was Swindon Captain, and was a World Finalist in 1957. He was 93.

Funny thing is, when you made your original post, I immediately checked the Dons - and only Ronnie, Tommy, and Slim Jim are no longer with us. Yeah, of the Swindon team, David Ashby is the only one, and he wasn't a regular that year. Until last week, all of Hackney's 1972 regulars were with us, and then we lost Laurie Etheridge.

The problem is that, while they CLAIM they want the best riders, what they actually want is their favourite riders. Then, they will use every excuse in the book (age, nationality, ekstraliga average, "a need for new faces" etc), in an attempt to validate their view. -

So why didn't Mark Loram ride for Malta? Ronnie Moore was born in Australia, Bob Andrews was born in England, Rune Holta was born in Norway, Bill Landels was born in Scotland, and Tadeusz Teodorowicz was born in Poland. Your point is? -
I'm friends with Karl, and between his own posts, and all his groups, he keeps us busy!

You are so right. Old photos - particularly B&W - we can glance at and recognize them immediately...

Nobody reckons zarmzlik is the goat. In fact, who is this "zarmzlik" fella you are talking about? Don't know Pederson either! -

For those who reckon Dan backs off too much, I have no idea why he didn't there! Wow, that was close to disaster!
