customhouseregular Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I may have false memory syndrome but I seem to recall seeing him ride at a grasstrack meeting in Kent c. 1967. If I am right Malcolm Simmons and Don Godden were also competing, but I do sometimes get my memories muddled. No doubt Norbold will know if I am right.

Vince Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Was racing against my uncle in the 50's, still going in the 70's and running training schools at Weymouth in the 80's. Then when my son started riding Speedway in 2004 he was still around offering help and advice. He must have ben best part of 90 last time I saw him wandering around at the Talmag Trial and that's a pretty good walk at any age. One of life's good blokes and will be missed a great deal.
