star ghost Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 The last I heard about Norman was that he was in the Leicester area. He rode for the Lions for a time and I think he had a Joint Testimonial Event with Ray Wilson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 The last I heard about Norman was that he was in the Leicester area. I was going to post that this morning but then I realised half way through that I was thinking of Norman Hunter. I last saw him about 8 years ago when he delivered a bouncy castle for my granddaughter's birthday and my husband recognised him. It's amazing how these speedway riders get around because it seems every one that is mentioned has at some point ridden for Leicester.

Gemini Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Of course my memory being what it is I forgot all about the Leicester reunion in November 2004 and that is when I last saw Norman Hunter and took this photo of him, Bruce Forrester/wife Linda. http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2745550550047007148zerUJj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBBATH Posted June 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Great to see a picture of Norman Hunter(altho not the subject of this thread). He looks fine-I always thought Norman would have gone on to even greater things but for that terrible accident when he rode for Wolves?? in about 1969??. I remember him mainly at West Ham in 64-65.Thanx for sharing your pictures Gemini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Hamilton Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 John Poyser is living on Oxfordshire somewhere. I don't know about Norman Storer. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi John Poyser started riding in second halves at Cowley before making PL status. He lived in Cowley. His brother tried second halves (Roy) but didn't for very long. Brian Hamilton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Brown Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) John Poyser is living on Oxfordshire somewhere. I don't know about Norman Storer. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am sure this could be confirmed as John's daughter is a regular contributor to the forum.

BOBBATH Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Dick Bradley's daughter was kind enough once to update us on her dad-perhaps John's daughter could do the same if she reads this.That would be great and also to tell him his riding is fondly recalled.
