My favourites are the romantically named Bulgarian Rudolf Valentinov, and the

Austrian Kurt Schwingenschlogl (try saying THAT after a few pints)

Remember two of the worst riders ever seen at Blunsdon:

 

BO BO VALENTINE

SUMNER McKNIGHT

i think McKnight was better than he showed. saw him at swindon, and seemed to be sorting himself out scoring 8 points at hackney i think, but averages and work permit issues forced him to leave. i think he was actually a good rider, thrown in at the deep end too quickly..bit unfair to label him as one of two worst riders ever seen at swindon..points wise, maybe, potential? the man had potential..

Then there were Frank Richt and Leonard Raba,now these two were totally crap!

can you find any plus points for this duo?!

so... which two is it ? i just think mcknight is a bit maligned by some.. he just couldnt sort things out in time.. by the way,... i think you were very good and a stalwart team man.. and i might add, had a good ridin style... :neutral:

No Hitchy..you can't say that about the mighty Leonard!! :o

 

The man was an absolute legend...he even rode in a World Team Cup Final.

 

The mere fact he didn't score a solitary point for Swindon is surely immaterial :P

 

He did have an appalling 'tache though, i'll give you that :rolleyes:

 

As for Frank Richt...... :blink:

Seem to remember there was an American rider called Sonny Nutter. Also there was a guy mentioned earlier Jon Jon White, don't know about a strange name but the guy himself was a bit strange.

I remember reading an interview in the Speedway Star with him, talk about wanting to live in caves, wonder what happened to him.
