Mauger_Magic Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Many moons ago it was said that George whilst in the Tyneside area, went down to Whitley Bay, which was a sppedway venue then, and did a few circuits. The exact site of the speedway track, which is still visible in parts, is at the Rockliffe Rugby Union Club ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celticman Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Formby, like Vera Lynn, did a lot of traveling in WW2 to entertain the troops. As a kid I remember his song "Leaning on the lamppost" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
