BOBBATH Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Sorry to read on the Speedway Plus website that John Edwards-Yarmouth,Stoke, Cradley and Wimbledon -has passed away aged 79.I remember him for among other things the 2nd Leg of the PL KO Cup Final v. Newport in October 1964. Despite being 20 points down after the first leg at Newport and despite missing George Major through injury, Cradley just missed winning the 2 leg Final by only 2 points, winning the second leg 57-59. John rode 6 times and scored 13 pts. including beating the great Alby Golden-great effort and great evening. As an aside in 1967 I was working for STC in Basildon during the summer and briefly lodged at 20 New Century Road Laindon, where apparently John had lodged a few years earlier when he would travel up to Stoke and ride for the Potters-can't remember the name of the landlady though. Thanks for the memories John and RIP . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
