yorkshire fishcake Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 They wouldn't be many people in Speedwy that have not heard of, or seen Buzz race... Regards. PS. Hope you get the "Thanks" you deserve for your effort & years dedicated to our Sport... MARK BURROWS: 43-year old ‘Buzz’ Burrows is signed as the team’s rider/coach to lend experience to a team primarily made up of novices and juniors. Sheffield-based, he actually began his career in the early eighties and actually rode in a few second halves at Middlesbrough’s Cleveland Park. It was Scunthorpe who gave him his first break. He then joined Edinburgh in 1986 before a recommendation from Martin Dixon saw him join us at Middlesbrough in 1987 where he appeared in 23 matches for a four point plus average. After a retirement of four and a half years returned in 1995 and rode for Long Eaton and Buxton. Buzz rode for the Stoke Potters in the premier league from 1997 - 2002 averaging up to 7 points and has appeared in over 50 Elite outings including Belle Vue, Coventry Wolverhampton and Eastbourne. Dropped to Conference level in 2003 for Wimbledon and became a "legend of the Plough Lane circuit" One thing is for certain, life is never dull with ‘Buzz’ in your side! Taken from http://www.redcarspeedway.co.uk/html/meet_the_bays.html <{POST_SNAPBACK}> thanks for that note trackman lets hope we got the boat rolling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trackman Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 as there been any news on what buzz is going to do this year. what average would he be on if he was to move back into the premier league ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 More to the point when is he going to get this testmonial meeting has to be the longest wait for a rider. Surely either Stoke, Scunny or even Sheffield could fit it in for this lad, lets be fair he has been patient enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mervjankefanclub Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) hope he gets fixed up and gets his testimonial i enjoyed watching him during his short spell at glasgow in 92 it was certainly fun and games when he took to the track including one spectacular spill when he caught the home straight fence and went flying through the air we also aquired a wild jesper olsen the same year although i dont think they ever paired up in the same heat fortunately for the opposition Edited January 11, 2008 by mervjankefanclub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin king Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Wonder if the Stoke fans might lobby the Stoke promotion to get them to put on a meeting for Buzz, I am sure that it would be well attended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
