Here is the link: http://www.defunctspeedway.co.uk/Eric%20Williams.htm Jim, Eric and Reg were friends for about 60 years. During Eric's final couple of months with us Reg phoned him weekly on a Saturday. I phoned him every Friday. Eric just loved receiving phone calls from his friends. Eric's computer had packed up and his friends and family started phoning him as Internet contact had been lost. I can still hear his infectious laugh even now.

SwineTown Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 The Defunct site is wonderful. Some great images. It never occurred to me that there would be cigarette cards! Does anyone know if these cards continued after '49 (eg-are there cards with Swindon Riders on?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirkbandit Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 It is a great site indeed! The cigarette cards are great to see, i always remember as a kid, reading and collecting Commando comics and there regularily used to be speedway riders on the inside covers, front and back, god knows what happened to them though, like my old autograph book, must've got lost in one of our many moves when i was younger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantodan Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Thanks for the agreeable comments, just enough to keep me going. There are many highlights with my site I think the memories of Audenshaw for example are excellent. Cig cards too, well worth a look. If you have any, not shown on the site, get busy with your scanner and send them to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
