Berrett Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Hi David Thanks for explaining your decision so clearly. I have always admired your professional approach to the sport and the way in which you tackled almost every aspect of track racing. It was particularly pleasing when you were among the top Brits on the Long track and European grasstrack scene. I was a spectator at that Worcester GT when you fell on the first corner, right in front of us. I could never have imagined that such a "typical" fall could have had such big consequences. I wish you every success in whatever you decide to do next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrotron Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 A well put statement, I wish you all the success and happiness in life you gave us entertainment and will never be forgotten for that so enjoy the retirement from the sport all the best.

Bunce Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Thank you David for all the entertainment you have given us fans over many years. I well remember your short time with the Kings Lynn Team, you had a storming start, sadly cut short by injury. What ever you decide to do in the future, may I wish you health and happiness, and if you are in the Kings Lynn area, don't forget to pop in and see us on a Wednesday night!

phillipsr Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Remember the buzz when David started out and saw him ride against Mildenhall and he certainly lived up to the hype. Always Liked watching him and he was practically unbeatable at my closest track Rye House when he first dropped down. Enjoy your retirement David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPNY Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Was not a particularly nice kid when he started out and thought he was going to be the next big thing. Seems he became a bit more humble over the course of his career...However was a good servant to British speedway and wish him well in his retirement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourentee Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Very best wishes to David. I had the pleasure of interviewing him on several occasions and can assure those posters who have not met him that his retirement announcement exactly reflects the man -- warm, sincere and engagingly candid. He was a joy to interview, never ducking a question and always answering with depth and insight. Impossible to write a dull quotes piece with David (however hard it may appear to readers that I tried...!). The night he qualified for the Cardiff GP was a very special one indeed. Good luck for the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 A regular at individuals at Newport over the years and a regular A Finalist. Remember hoping he would sign for Newport when he first announced he was dropping back down to the PL. Sadly, for us anyway, he opted for Scunny. A brilliant PL rider . All the best David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best David Gosh, yes, I can now remember him winning the (February?) meeting one year and beating Chris Harris in the final. Had forgotten that.
