Sean Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 from what i remember of a few of them, Keith still attends the VSRA meetings with his father Vic,and still lives in the Leicester area, Barry now lives down in South Wales and gets along to the Cardiff GP each year. Sean Willmott emigrated to Australia back around 1998, Bo Petersen builds Riders Vans in the winter in Denmark and Caravans in the summer. Finn moved to Spain, Dave Kennett can be found supporting his son Edward when riding, Zenon Plech is still involved in the Polish National Set Up, Roman Jankowski was still riding in Poland last season, but i think retired at the end of it. Paul T will be able to bring you up to date with any others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roman Chyla Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 ...this was a domestic in which his wife stabbed him.........in the head.... Thanks for that MD Any idea where or when ? Edward Jancarz, former Wimbledon number one, and the time the most successful rider in Polish speedway history died in January 1992 following a stabbing incident at his Gorzow flat. Jancarz and his second wife were involved in a furious row that turned into tragedy. She was charged and sentenced for the killing. Jancarz, who was reportedly under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident, suffered three knife wounds to his upper body. It was the third which severed a main artery in his shoulder, causing intensive bleeding and his dead at around 8 pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Okay, fair enough. It's just that I can remember him riding very well which makes it a bit more personal and I thought you were perhaps a youngster wanting to know all the gory details. Sorry. I can see now that you were genuinely interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
