Followers of cycle speedway are mourning the passing of legendary Mancunian and former national champion Derek Garnett. A true gentleman who succumbed to a long illness last Monday. Condolences to family and friends.

That is really sad news. Being in the Manchester league Mid-late 1960’s, I raced against Derek many times (losing the majority of them). A good team man who will have helped many younger riders to fulfil their ambitions, he was that sort of guy. A brilliant individual rider as well,  must have won almost everything in his time.

Any one know when Derek finally retired?  Or did he.
