Mark Evans Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) I remember him when he was at Belle Vue. I dont think he started off too well at Hyde Road with a few ef's in his first official match and then got a maximum against Coventry ?? in a league cup match...and if i remember rightly it was the saturday after a rain off at Newcastle. We passed a few riders coming out of Newcastle but carried on so we would know were the track was for next time..needless to and i ain't been back there since. 1984 was the year and BV battered everyone out of site and got pipped for the league and KOC by Ipswich. and that was my only visit to Foxhall and i ain't been back there either.

Yes, though he was unpopular with most of the other riders because he was forever borrowing everything from bike parts to whole machines when his own conked out. Looked altogether a more professional performer at the end of his career at Rye House when the club went PL after reopening - he went through a golden period when he was breaking the track record pretty much every week!
