cyclone Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 All the best for the future to Captain Marvel whose career reached a fitting climax as the skipper of the most successful Monarchs team ever. Hopefully we'll see you around Armadale next season, inspiring and motivating the 2015 Monarchs team from the sidelines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Good luck Derek solid performer to the teams you served! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 For all he was never a big scorer or big heat leader, there cant be many riders around who have won as much as Deek has over the years in PL speedway. Happy retirement Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Sad to see him retire. Glad that he can make the decision himself. As Arson says he won a fair few medals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 With the fast track system looking to produce the next British World Champion (allegedly!) it shouldnt be fogotten that the likes of Derek Sneddon are equally important. The backbone of the 2nd tier capable of mixing it with the top end at that level at times and the first benchnark for newcomers to measure themselves against if they have ambitions to 'make it' in the sport. Enjoy your retirenent Derek. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Every team needs a rider like Derek Sneddon not a superstar but put in superstar performances just when it mattered in so many important rides in vital matches,a real thorn in the side of many teams.All the Best in retirement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit59 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Enjoy your retirement Deek right time to go out on a high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smod Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 When your team wins the whole league by one point, and you've scored three points, your contribution is as vital as the guys who scored maximums. Well done Derek, you've gone out at the very top! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Happy retirement to the Deek man. Always a wholehearted trier popping up with some great rides. And fantastic at generating team spirit. Must not be lost to the sport. I had the pleasure if watching him knock up 16(?) points in a match at Ippo last season. Sensational! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainAudi Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Sad to see Derek go, but it's definately the right time! He was an inspirational captain (two league titles as skipper says it all), and his passion rubbed off on many riders, including this years team. Hopefully he can manage to provide a presence in the pits next year to insipre the 2015 monarchs team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 No more Desperate Deek . Like Big bad Brett , Captain Baconheid , The Moped , and Fisher . He was mentioned in the same breath as those Monarchs bogeymen . His retirement makes pre meeting previews against the Smugs more difficult , but I wish him well in his retirement . I think that makes old Jimmy Culbert Scotland's number 1 now . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
