He certainly did, this man was God when i was about 5!!

Prime candidates for the best ever Div2 side definately, but Cradley '83 will take some beating for BEST EVER

Surprise,surprise!! Same teams in the Final's for the 3rd time on the trot

hey, good game.... I'll go next shall I? Mike Spink? next? Graham Clifton?

I thought it was 14 but you may be right. Whichever it was, hardly any other member of the Swindon team beat a Cradley rider all night. Now if there was a topic on the best one man team ever...... You're spot on it was 14. Crump 15 Andersson 6 Busk 5 Holloway 2 Bishop 1 Yeates 0 Sorensen 0

Ooooooh it's close!!!!

Without doubt the best team I've ever seen too, and probably ever will. Phil Crump scored a maximum against them though! Very true, trouble was the rest got 13 between them if i remember rightly!!

Thank you ML After all this is a Speedway Discussion Forum In my defence here, this was the point I was trying to make :!: apologies for not wording it better No probs Shazzy, sorry if i was a bit spikey in my response!

Einar Kyllingstad's 15point max for KL at Blunsdon in circa '86 Never did anything before or after but was absolutely brilliant that day!

But thats all they expected from him so i dont class it as a failure. That is very true but did Crumpie really need to scratch around for half a dozen points when 9+ was his norm at his best?? People new to the game would have thought Crumpie only an adequate rider and not the legend he is!

Didnt think he did that badly, he came back 6 years after he retired and scored a 6+ average in the BL Bob Kilby in 83 was pretty bad if you ask me. Thing is Crumpie in his pomp wpuldn't have even sniffed at a 6 point average. Killer in '83 did struggle badly and seeing Ashby not only at reserve but for Reading as well was a travesty!!

Thank you ML After all this is a Speedway Discussion Forum and we're not commenting on people in a personal manner.

oh please!!! Who mentioned anything about slating???

We all know that some riders love the game and find it hard to let it go. Who are those riders that have either kept racing too long and been a pale shadow of their former selves, or have made ill-advised comebacks?? Phil Crump for Swindon in '92 and Eric Boocock at Halifax in '83 are two that spring readily to mind, who do you recall???

Think you're getting mixed up with Brian Mckeown

Afraid so, there is a thread open in the Speedway General Discussion section with memories etc.

Zetters, i was amazed to here of the passing of Anders Eriksson. Do you know what happened??

Very sad to hear Anders Eriksson has passed away, when did this happen??

That's cheating!! Swindon has fairly lengthy bends and a dog track as well.

Didn't Bernie Leigh wim one at Reading once??
