David Croucher Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 I know this is from way back when - but, how about Jimmy Squibb Mike Broadbanks Ivan, Briggo and Ove !! I suppose they are all tough really. You don't get to be a Speedway Rider unless you are. D C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandman Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Shazzybird, dont you just hate when someone apologises when they have a grin on their face? Actual fact I was a Phil Crump fan and he was a tough racer. Ironman would be a good description. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff. Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Ironman would be a good description. 8) Â It was a good description, for a rider called Joe Abbott, and he was rather tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goggles Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 Phil Crump ......... ran over Uncle Teds head and knocked his teeth out :!: Does that mean TOUGH luck  is that why dick jarvis always shouted 'plank head' whenever uncle ted was racing, to find out later that it was a bad idea!

shazzybird Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 Certainly was a bad idea when a certain "Little" girl kicked him in the shins on the orders of her grandfather I did apologise to Dick when I saw him @ Sittingbourne, bonus was he never remembered but he did remember me once seen/heard never forgotten I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Steve Magro Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 My, my, no offence to all of you aficionados, but Nigel Boocock is widely regarded (here in Australia at least) as amoung the toughest of men ever to ride anti-clockwise. He couldn't get out of the starts to save his life, but he so often scraped the boards, passing riders at will for something like 30 years. Â You dare not ever cross him or...... Â He once rode with a broken bone in his left foot: I have a picture of him (wearing the Union Jack of course) sliding into a corner with his toe tied to his lower leg to hold it up. Â Now that's tough. Â Today, he's the nicest most unassuming chap your'e ever likely to meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
