Storming Norman Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Some of the recent promoters who have recently disappeared from view. "Reggie" Perrin, Waggy, Ron Russell, Pat Bliss. These guys were "big knobs" and then plummeted like a stone. They will have interesting stories to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatface Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) Egon Muller would be a good one. I'd like to know more about what Peter Ravn's up to as well. I understand he is in Oz these days. Gary Gugliemi would be interesting too. Oh and John Cook too..just purely for the John Berry rant it would no doubt prompt!

ianmartin Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Jack Millen Frank Auffret Graeme Smith Robbie Blackadder Maury Robinson Tony Childs Geoff Maloney Arthur Browning George Major Alan Knapkin Carl Glover Doug Wyer Reg Wilson Jim Wells Lou Sansom Taffy Owen Mal McKay  All of these Riders were British League Division 2 Riders for most of the early 1970's It would be great to see the Division 2 lads featured regularly in the Magazine with those from Division 1. Perhaps a Club a Month could be featured with details of what went on there in the 1970's, 80's etc. (Both Division 1 and 2). There REALLY was some great racing in those 'good old days' in Division 2. Just a few ideas - hope this is OK. Latest BackTrack - BRILLIANT as usual. Thank you.

Thank you.  Just read mine and have to agree with you on that it was very good, and of the riders that you mentioned I seem to remember that Reg Wilson, Doug Wyer, Carl Glover and Taffy Owen have all been featured.

spin king Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Has Barry Thomas been interviewed? Â I don't think that he has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyMac Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Has Barry Thomas been interviewed? Â Â Not yet. Â I did speak briefly to Thommo at the 2005 Hackney Reunion and we carried some quotes in the following issue. But, for whatever reason, he seemed reluctant to be interviewed - or was he just content to chat about 'old days' with Plechy, Ted H, Bobby Mac and Banksy? Â Some riders love to reflect on their past, while others can be a bit less enthusiastic. Â Agree that Thommo must have lots of great anecdotes worth recalling. Fag in one hand, pint in the other...aye, they don't make sportsmen like him any more! Â What a great entertainer, though. How the sport could do with 10 Thommos today...

Catalan Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 It would be nice to see ex riders who are now team managers interviewed. Chris Morton Neil Middleditch or even guys like Garry May and Steve Bishop at Somerset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
