colin Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 thankyou cheetahawk. How sad it is, I have fond memories of the 1979 season, following the Cheetahs on their northern tour, Edinburgh, Berwick and Newcastle. George was a really great team man. My dear Mum used to enjoy watching him and Dave Shields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 Don't know about the pub thing, I thought I heard Simon Cross announce at Wolverhampton once that he is now a Painter and Decorator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerblade Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Oh and Doug Wyer I remember him at Claremont (West Oz) when i was a lad he was awesome might have been a test match and a couple of other meetings. He was a lorry driver (even whilst riding, although obviously not simultaneously lol) for donkey's years, might still be. He originates from the same village as me, and when I was at Gosford the day after the Aussie GP last year, Dave Cheshire senior who is a big pal of his came over to talk to Tina and her sister and got talking about him. Couldn't believe it, I was 10,000 miles away from home and talking to an Aussie about my own village!! Although I would say I know his sort of nephew Paul better, he had a dabble at riding a few years ago but never got above Conference level.
