Bobbin' Along Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 So glad you mentioned the legendary(!) Stephen Rose. I well remember a bunch of went to Kings Lynn one night, Rosie was riding at reserve for us. We all stood there, on teh 2nd bed, chanting ROSIE, ROSIE at the top of our voices. When he came past us, you'd have thought he'd won the world Championship! War cries led by the equally legendary Micky Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviresco Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Fascinating topic.  Now, can you confirm that Mitch Shirra rode for both NZ & Australia, but was born in NZ (or the other way round)?  David Bargh was one of the nicest people I've ever met, let alone speedway riders.  And talking of Shirra, did you know that, apparently, he is ranked 569th in the world speedway standings (with Andrew Bargh at 512th) according to:  http://speedwayranking.125mb.com/home.htm  Is Mitch still riding then?

Pretty sure he was still riding in Oz last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
