Lizzyhole1 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Johnny Hole former speedway champion for Bristol Bull dogs 1950 - early 1960s has sadly past away at the grand age of 91 at home with his family, on the 8th may. Johnny from Bath was married to his wife Betty for 65 years and ran a family car garage in Bath. Bikes and cars were his passion and it ran in the family blood. Johnny is now at peace with his brother and sisters especially Graham and BIlly who also had a great love for speedway. Johnny will be greatly missed by his wife, two children and 3 grandchildren. Massive thank you to Dorothy House who helped Johnny when he needed them in his final weeks. Rest in peace Johnny Derrick Hole - One of Bristol Bull Dogs Heros!! http://m.bathchronicle.co.uk/Bristol-Bulldogs-speedway-rider-Bath-garage-owner/story-29279010-detail/story.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knowle Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Sorry to hear about Johnny Hole, one of my favourite riders at Knowle 1949 to 1960. Captain of the Bristol Bulldogs in 1960, I believe this leaves just Dick Bradley and Chum Taylor from the early 1950s team. RIP Johnny Hole.

steve roberts Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Am I right to think that Derek Hole, who rode in the seventies, was the son of Johnny? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
