I lived in Brislington at the time, and as a youngster, used to walk from home in West Town Lane, to Knowle Stadium. Thanks for letting us know of his passing. I'm sure this will be mentioned in the speedway press, and the World Speedway Riders' Association newsletter. Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Without doing any research, I think Johnny Hole, Olle Nygren, and Chum Taylor all rode for the Bulldogs during the '50's, and are still with us. Tim.
