Mervjankefanclub, great shout there for little Guy Wilson, how could I forget him? Immensely popular at Workington, fantastic out and out trier and top personality too.

 

I will let Guy know he had a mention. Guy was winning the Weste

rn Australian state championship until about 4 years ago. He is still helping in the pits at meetings and just as enthusiastic about the sport!!

I heard Mick was running a sand buggy bus tourist business, in a place called Lancelin with lots of huge sand dunes about 50 miles north of Perth!!!!

Richard Green and Alan Mogridge absolute musts. Les Collins was also always great value, as was Martin Goodwin. Another fella I remember is the French rider Thierry Hilaire, I think he rode for Milton Keynes? He was a bit of a nutter, but always gave 100%.

Jack Millen in the NL because he was simply the best entertainer I have ever seen on a track (though not always on his bike)

Kelvin Mullarkey the slowest rider ever to constantly win races

Kerry Gray

Andrew Silver

Shane Parker

Sorry, if I'm late with my 'entry' but in all the names mentioned I can't see Carl Askew...and he was always worth the admission at Crewe alone whenever Birmingham were down.

 

But for me the greatest 'character' of all was Mad jack Millen (RIP)
