Stan Stevens In part 2 of our candid exclusive, Lokeren survivor Stan recalls the full horror of the accident that killed five of his British speedway colleagues and sent the sport reeling in 1970.

Jim Sharman Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 When the end of season awards are being dolled out it would be a travesty if Moggo was not awarded an "Outstanding Contribution" Award for his career in British Speedway. And by the sounds of it, his ride to win the Fours was exactly that... An Outstanding Contribution.... Very few riders by the sheer mention of their name are able conjure up an image and atmosphere unique to them... Alan Mogridge was able to do that.... always 100% on and off the track... will be sorely missed... Best wishes and enjoy your speedway retirement....(but hopefully be tempted out for the occasional Testimonial!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
