BOBBATH Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I thought I would start a new thread because sadly nobody replied to my post re Mike Watkins. The 64 Diamonds were a wonderful team-we know the history of most of the riders-but I never have discovered whether the great stalwart(and a good guy) Mike Watkins is still with us. Does anybody know(does anybody care)?? Don't lets forget these middle order folks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOBBATH Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Yup, you're right Steve-as soon as I posted it I knew I had added the s incorrectly-sorry about that. Can anybody add any update e.g. what happened to Mike after he left speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackofdiamonds Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 I believe he is living on the south coast, and was/is a swimming instructor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantodan Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Yes Mike lives down south. He sent me some photos and some info in his own words a few years ago. I put them on the http://www.newcastlespeedwayhistory.co.uk website. http://www.newcastlespeedwayhistory.co.uk/1960%202.htm Try the 1960s Part2 and click on the Mike Watkin bookmark Edited April 26, 2015 by dantodan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
