speedyguy Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I think BOBBATH knows but he won't tell us. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not sure, but it's certain to have been mentioned somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WATigerman Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Steve Sant of Stoke and Roland Tebbs at Middlesbrough and Mark Terry Canterbury. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You gotta be kidding - Steve Sant was not particularly tall at all! My guess he was no more than 5' 10 " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Hamilton Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Just remembered that Dave Younghusband was a very tall guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uglydave Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I don't agree with your comments on Rudy Muts in any way. He was always a trier, scored points, and had what was a promising career blighted when he suffered a serious injury. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> IF you bother to look at the 'smilies' i put after my comment was a little tongue in cheek as I actually new him as a mate as well as a rider. So you and kentboy read the reply properly and keep your opinions of me to yourself. Jeeeeez some people need to lighten up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The H Man Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Uno Johansson who rode for Reading in the early 80's was very tall 6'6, two memories of him first was he couldn't get right the tight bends of Perry Barr when racers visited Birmingham and secondly was Billy Sanders nutting him after Uno stuffed him twice in first bend melee's, and Peo Gudmusson (sp??) having to jump on Billy to save poor old Uno from taking a real beating.
