Bruiser McHuge Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Before my time as a rider...but I remember him as track curator at Bradford ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiegal Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Eric was one of the most genuine guys I have ever met in the sport..almost too honest to be in Speedway. I never saw him race..but the chubby little man was International class in the 1960's. He and Bonnie did so much as a couple, and virtually ran Halifax. He was devastated when they moved to Bradford and was shabbily treated later by certain individuals. Never heard a bad word ever spoken about them eith personally or in business. Nice man, nice lady, and I certainly hope that they are enjoying life in their welcoming home on the edge of the moors. James 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foamfence Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I don't know how Eric is currently, but I do know that he attended a dinner a year or two ago and said he thought Speedway was on it's way out. I believe Eric Boocock said something on similar lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
