kbt Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Just seen a photo of a bundle between riders and civilian(s)possibly a mechanic.Can recognize Malcolm Brown ad what looks like Alan Wilkinson who is being held back from attacking a Leicester rider in black + white helmet by the rider in white while to the side another rider is throwing a punch at someone.What is the story here and who are the riders involved?Must be i guess from around 1973/4.Looks like John Boulger in the background looking on what happened that night was that belle Vue,who had been unbeaten at home for a few years but Leicester came visiting and held the lead going into heat 12.the Aces needed a heat advantage and Wilkinson tried to get round Cowland on the third bend and came off.The referee bravely adjudged Wilkinson at fault and that cost the Aces the win.Wilkinson blamed Cowland and that started the brawl.Some members of the crowd joined in and a punch up followed,i remember a spectator having a go at big Tom Leadbitter who had leathers and helmet,not very clever.The ref didn't run heat 13 and the lions won.The ri der that won it for the Lions was Graham Plant,talk about harm sacrum ,he frightened everybody at the track,probably even the Aces riders.Scored 11 from 4 rides I seem to recall. Ah great days,pretty local speedway every night of the week except Friday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
