norbold Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Some sad news. I've just heard that former Norwich rider, Phil Clarke has died at the age of 88. He first rode for the Stars in 1947 and became captain in 1951. He qualified for the World Championship final in 1955 and remained with Norwich until his retirement in 1959, having spent the whole of his career with just the one club. How many riders can say that these days!? In all he rode 309 matches for the Stars, scoring 2162 points, both club records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBBATH Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I am very sorry to hear this Norbold.As you know Phil was one of the oldest two or three world finalists still living. I think Cyril Roger is still the oldest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
