Yep. I don't think gustix would remember Pete Wigley riding for us. He should know Dingle...

That's right! Hence the clues I was giving John...

And next to him, a man with a great reputation on the internationale scene...

Back to the pic, and there will be more "shocks" if gustix can't get the guy next to Haggis. Perhaps the greatest all-round motorcyclist ever.

You mean that IS Terry Mussett??? Seriously, this is sad, isn't it?

Sorry, STILL a spelling error...

Yup...

No disrespect, John, but it IS sad. Really, really sad. Particularly when I told you...

King Haroldt...

If gustix doesn't recognise him, it would be a major shock. More to the point, he should know the guy in the middle at the front. The guy at bottom left was a good'un too...

I think you'll find it was Neil who used Barry as a launching pad, or as Mike Patrick said, "Neil Cameron climbing all over Barry Crowson"! Personally, I thought Neil could have gone on to better things. All he had to do was stay on the bike for four laps (assuming he didn't go through the tapes) a little more often. As has been said, after leaving Plough Lane, he wasn't the same.

You know, Chris impressed me when I saw him, and I thought he had some real potential.

I wonder if Steve was thinking of Pat Pawson? He was a Kiwi...

He was an Aussie, but was born in Derby, I believe.

Do you not think that I have the "needed qualifications" to write and comment on the club? Or iris123? Do we have to bow to your superiority - even when we know that WE are right, and you are just trying to dismiss what we say?

It seems like you are trying to convince everyone that Terry Mussett never rode for Wimbledon, and that this all some elaborate hoax that we've conjured up in an effort to fool you! It's not! Whether you remember him or not is irrelevant; he rode for us! Why the hell you would make that comment about seeking info on him on a FB group is beyond me...

This is a thread called "Wimbledon Memories", which - I believe - is a place to share your memories of Wimbledon speedway. It is NOT a place where you come to deliberately provoke others, others who have a long-time and GENUINE knowledge and love of Wimbledon speedway (unlike yourself). Is it really to much to expect you to act like a normal person, and post stuff you like, and ask questions to which you really don't know the answers? Most of the people on the BSF are intelligent enough to engage in regular conversation without you trying to stir things up...

Didn't Ho Chi Miny Waln ride for the Dons in the 30's?

So it wasn't just me that was sitting there scratching my head when I saw that one??? Yet another bizarre comment, eh?

I really thought Ali was going to have a long and successful career...

By THE John Hyam??? Sounds like some kind of conspiracy theory here...

Calm down, John! You seem to be using the fact that Terry hasn't been mentioned on the group as some kind of validation for you not knowing him, but that is totally irrelevant. The fact that they probably haven't mentioned the riders I named either is just as irrelevant - or relevant, depending on how you look at it.

You stated, "Those names mean nothing to me."? That - and the sentence above - would again indicate that you didn't know who "Jacko", "Maido", and "Briggo" were. You also claimed that nobody was able to name the riders CORRECTLY, when it was clear to everybody that I knew exactly who they were. Yet you threw your toys out of the pram, all because I answered in a friendly and informal manner... Still shocks the hell out of me that you didn't recognise Igor. Another totally peculiar statement! It's almost like you are trolling the internet in an effort to disprove the fact that Terry rode for us! Does the group mention Mark Fordham, Keith Whipp, Jack Wright, Sigvart Pedersen, Ian Williams, Gene Woods, Warren Mowat, Philip Lac-Szyrma, or Bob Abell?

Sorry if you think I am being a little harsh, John, but am totally nonplussed by the fact that a speedway journalist from the 1950's and 60's (and who spends a lot of time on speedway forums and groups), was unable to identify one of the most successful and recognisable figures in post-war speedway. Part of the reason I am probably more shocked than I should have been is because it follows on from you not being able to recognise Cyril Brine, Gerry Jackson, Cyril Maidment, and Barry Briggs, either facially or by nicknames. Not sure of the relevance of that comment, and it seems a little disrespectful to Terry. You make him sound unimportant, by boasting that you can name a lot of other riders - including juniors who undoubtedly never came close to reaching Terry's level.

Wore yellow Yamaha leathers... Being good on the grass, I expected him to do a little better on the shale than he did.
