Bryn Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Let's hope that when full details emerge Steve's injuries turn out to be minor rather than major. My thoughts are with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 My best wishes to Steve Dixon. Years ago when I used to take speedway photos at Wimbledon I was always rather concerned at the risk and as a guideline used to operate from just behind the great cameraman Alf Weedon. His technique was superb and he knew just where to place himself on the centre green's inner edge. Mike Patrick was another who was an expert at positioning himself when working. More importantly, let's hope for some good news in regard to Steve Dixon's accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TesarRacing Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Nasty injuries by all accounts. He had a 5 hour operation at Coventry & Warwickshire Hospital. He suffered a broken jaw in several places, fractures of his leg and arm plus damage to the shoulder. He will be having further surgery this week to his patella and cheek bone. He faces a lengthy rehabilitation process and first indications is that he will be out of action for six months. I think we underestimate the dangers these guys face doing their job. Steve, we are all thinking of you and hope you have a full and speedy recovery. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
