father jack Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 My Dad has put some old Cine Film on to video, and it shows a couple meetings from the old Somerton Park track in 1968. One meeting is Wasps V Sheffield, I recognised all the Wasps riders, but the only Sheffield rider I could recognise was Charlie Monk. The other match is an England V USSR match. The only English riders I spotted were Jimmy Gooch and Martin Ashby. Does anyone have any details about these matches ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
