OveFundinFan Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 I saw more then a few of the tussles between Craven and Fundin at Belle Vue, particularly the Golden Helmet challenges. Absolutely top notch fantastic racing. Ranks as the best racing i have seen, so close racing, showing due respect for each other, no dangerous moves, just racing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire both Fundin and Craven but sadly I never saw them race. I truly wish I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) It appears that copies of Norman Jacobs book about Tom Farndon are still available. There are probable other outlets dealing in the book. Here's one that I found: https://www.abebooks.co.uk/9780752451404/Tom-Farndon-Greatest-Speedway-Rider-0752451405/plp And in regard to the title to this thread, Norman Jacobs offers this explanation (which indicates the theme currently being discussed here have been misunderstood) that the claim for Tom Farndon was not of his origin: Of course it is impossible to say who is "The Greatest Of Them All", Rob. In fact that subtitle was added by the publisher to help sell the book. It was not my idea - especially as by the time I wrote it I had become good friends with Ove Fundin! But I would certainly always include him in my top five, though, funnily enough, as a consequence of researching Tom and the riders he rode against in his period, I have to say that I also realised what a truly great rider Bluey Wilkinson was as well, and a real challenger to the Greatest title from more or less his own period.
