waiheke1 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 In the 81 British junior Champ, the field did contain simon Wigg, future world longtrack champion. However, not sure Robert lightfoot won any races at poole, unless they were 2nd halves or junior league matches, given the bl record of 6 points over 7 matches.

waiheke1 Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 if it was Robert63 I could understand but not 72. Â I have some pictures in my old scrapbook including one of Rob & Jim but it won't let me copy here as too big. The only rob born in 72 was homer, who has been ruled out. The other suggestion was Robert jackson, who was 72 last year.But this suggestion seems to fit the bill on many levels.

Suspect we can rule out lambert, pfetzing and the poles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Â Â Kasprzak........ Â Well, I've learned something anyway as I didn't know there was ever a Robert Kasprzak so my next question is obviously is he any relation to Krzysztof?

The Doctor... Posted September 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) I really am convinced that Robert72 is NOT Robert Lightfoot..... Â Any reason why ? as an add on to whats been posted on here, didnt he allude to knowing some older riders and their famiiles, and also some deceased riders along the way ? Â Something that would perhaps tally up with a dad-as-a-rider type scenario. Â i'd love a sensible denial from robert72 myself, but he seems to be giving this thread a wide birth for some reason Edited September 18, 2016 by The Doctor... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shale Searcher Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 When Rob Lightfoot rode for Leicester he always seemed mature for his age, and not the sort of person that would, 26yrs later post randomly on the BSF. And also, why would he seem so 9i$$3⊙ off with Tai.......  That's the only reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wackie Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 When Rob Lightfoot rode for Leicester he always seemed mature for his age, and not the sort of person that would, 26yrs later post randomly on the BSF. And also, why would he seem so 9i$$3⊙ off with Tai.......  That's the only reason.  That was 30+ years ago though, maybe he's regressed  It does seem strange, normally old Bob72 is over any thread where he might get some attention like a tramp on chips, but as Doc has mentioned, is giving this thread a wide berth!  Robert LIghtfoot runs a furnishing business in Warwickshire now, his biog on the company page refers to his brief speedway career.

Â I have some pictures in my old scrapbook including one of Rob & Jim but it won't let me copy here as too big. 72 could be the number of world champions he has lined up against? Or the number of races he won at Poole? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lioness Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 I use a number after my ID on some emails or message boards that isn't to do with my year of birth, house number, IQ etc. Just a number that means something to me that others are unlikely to know so the 72 could be a red herring. Â 72 as a number is meant to signify wisdom learning and good fortune :/ Â In religion some think the member 72 refers to the wonderful one! Â Until something tells me my number means wee fat ugly half Scot though I'll remain skeptical! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shale Searcher Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 It also used to be a bus service number from Leicester City Centre, that stopped adjacent to the Leicester Speedway track on Blackbird Road!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread could go on for quite a while but it's strange how there is one person missing who usually likes to join in discussions like this.

Â That's because he's sat in his arm chair laughing at you all like a cat that's got his milk! Â He never rode speedway, it's just a fantasy. Until proven otherwise that's the bottom line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wackie Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Robert Lighfoot was a rider though C4G, and if he is Robert72 there is substance to his previous claims on here - there's also a lot of poetic licence in those claims too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecoombdog Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 It's obvious that Bobby boy isn't an ex rider and he like's people linking him to different ex riders so he can spout his anti Woffy junk from behind his user name but allow other people to think it's these people being named. Absolute pussy. No stones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
