Also, at my very first meeting, Ove Fundin scored an immaculate 18 point maximum. It has been very hard in the 60 years since to shake me from the belief that Ove is the greatest rider of all time.

Possibly because it is true.

And no mention of Vivian Woodward either, certainly one of the greatest players of all time.

You're only mentioning him because you were there when he captained Great Britain to a gold medal at the1908 olympics in London :rolleyes:

The first riders I saw included Wally Lloyd, Ron Clarke, Ron Johnson, Phil Bishop, Ed Pye, Bob Wells.. 

Seems like they were some of the LAST riders you actually "saw" too... :rofl:

I did attend a World Final at Wembley in the early 1980s. If I recall correctly it was won by an American?

Who was that? Would it have been Rob Pfetzing?

I can't say offhand but I think there's a list of speedway world champions on Wikipedia if you're that interested.

So you don't actually remember who it was?

Forgotten about "Five Flavours!"

He is probably one of the least remembered Americans, Steve, along with one of my personal favourites, Buddy Robinson.

This is a photo of Terry Mussett next to a man wearing a bow tie, if that helps?

Thanks norbold but I have no idea who any of those in the photo are or when, where and why it was taken!

That`s the one- i think a certain R Moore might be there as well but he wasn`t photographed a lot so i can`t be certain.

Ray Moore is on the New Cross thread... :rolleyes:

I think that may be Tommy Jansson's Brother, Bo, on the right?
