  1. I've found nothing "official", but it seems that both were around the five feet mark.
  2. Johnny Chamberlain was also 4' 9". Jerzy Kowalski was another under 5 feet, I know, and so was Sam Nikolajsen. Obviously, there have been plenty of "short" riders, but I'm not sure how many have been exceptionally short (5' or less).
  3. Very sad. A brilliant rider who today, doesn't get anywhere near the credit he deserves.
  4. That's exactly what you have to do, mate! Trust me, it doesn't always come easy; sometimes you have to put some time and effort into it!
  5. I admit that you probably aren't as weird and warped as I am (very few are - or at least, few would admit that), but don't sell yourself short, Steve! You have a vast knowledge of riders over a long period of time, so all you have to do is think of the names!
  6. 1 - NOEL Johnson 2 - ANGEL Eftimov 3 - George MANGER 4 - HOLLY Nygren 5 - IVY Brown 6 - St-EVE Schofield 7 - Nobby TUR-KEY Joint Managers - Steve RIBBONS and BO Wirebrand
  7. 1 - Ivan MAGI 2 - Steve SANT-A 3 - CLAUS Lohmann 4 - Mike CAKE 5 - Alby GOLD-en 6 - FRANK-incense Smart 7 - Alan Far-MYRRH Manager - Arthur Chest-NUT-ley
  8. James Easter shouldn't be the team manager for a Christmas team, should he?
  9. You mean speedway riders can't race in their kitchens?
  10. I know the junior matches were introduced in the late 80's, but even so, I still considered them a "second half". I honestly can't remember exactly when we lost the "traditional" events (I'm getting old), so maybe it was even in the 80's?
  11. Early to mid 90's I believe. Cant be any more precise than that, as I emigrated in 1990. They had moved up from 13-heat matches, so they didn't want to bother with a second-half. A lot of fans thought they were pointless, but there are still a few of us on here who miss them...
  12. That's weird! My grandad was the groundsman at Wimbledon FC in the 60's and 70's... Nothing like keeping it in the family, eh?
  13. Wimbledon was also where my parents met...
  14. Like watching the adverts on an online forum...
  15. Flooded a few years before then too!
  16. You're not supposed to name the track - just the fact...
  17. Does that really narrow it down???
  18. We never had all the problems with scams and identity theft back then... Just sad that we have to deal with all these idiots now.
  19. What about oval car racing from 1954? Oh, he already did that...
  20. Thing is, there is so much fraudulent activity out there these days, they have to make sure. It is for our protection.
