Joe Beevers Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I agree that speedway has lost a 'true character' in speedway and there just aren't many around like there used to be with the dancing and unique celebrating and such a nice guy who deserved a bit of time at the top also. Great ambassador who will be sadly missed and I may try and attend his UK testimonial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
