It was 1974 when he beat Eric Boocock in a second-half at Plough Lane. Steve I was there that night. Certainly had the crowd on their feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Some years ago there was a FACEBOOK group/forum dedicated to Wimbledon to which, for some time, I was an active member. I subsequently lost contact (or had it terminated!!) with my membership. Does anyone know if the group/forum still functions? I think - as usual!! not certain - that its moderator may be a former Wimbledon rider? Edited February 6, 2020 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Thank you Steve. I tried again and briefly managed to trace the forum before it went off screen for me. The presumption must be that I am blocked for some reason by the group which I now have indication is run by former Dons rider Terry Mussett. I am unable to bring up the Link to the group/forum.

iris123 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) I think if Terry is running it then you are wasting your time I remember your antics on there and you was the reason a number of people started a different forum Edited February 7, 2020 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think many of my misdemeanour sthere involved members placing photos? I criticised their quality. At the time I had no idea they were being placed via phone links rather than being the placement of a scan image. I do recall actually apologising for this but the Wimbledon forum concerned ignored that and Terry Mussett banned me. Out of interest, how many groups dedicated to Wimbledon Speedway are there on Facebook these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 Talk on another thread brought back memories of those two seasons Todd had with us. Not sure I can really recall another newcomer who had such an instant impact on the club. Obviously I wasn't born when Mirac arrived. Tatum was also a great youngster..... https://wwosbackup.proboards.com/thread/3143/todd-wiltshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Schofield I think came from just round the corner though, Plus of course Terry Mussett and Steve Hone. One who rode for us and the other who didn’t. But both now infamous for upsetting gustix it seems Edited May 11, 2020 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But both now infamous for upsetting gustix it seems When involved with speedway for the South London Press I had frequent contacts with Steve Schofield - a really pleasant person to deal with. At the same time I also covered Wimbledon for some years but do not recall the name Terry Mussett as being a Dons' rider. What seasons was he there? And so far as Steve Hone is concerned as he did not ride for Wimbledon there was no need to deal with him or about him as a rider for the SLP.

Thank you for the update racers and royals. All news to me regarding Terry Mussett as being a Wimbledon rider. As the old saying goes something like '...we live and learn...'

salty Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Tiger Terry was great entertainment in his time as a Don. Certainly couldn't fault his effort. Another one of my favourites of that era was Nathan Simpson. Thought he was going to kick onto international class, but the move to Eastbourne seemed to stall his progress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
