Paulco Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 6 years of watching Shane Parker round Ashfield tops my list . Saw Henrik Gustafsson round Saddlebow Road in 1992 , that was amazing to watch . Likewise Les Collins round Powderhall . Any rider who misses the gate , then proceeds to toy with his rivals before executing an overtake , is the biggest buzz watching speedway . Shane Parker doing that to Ryan Fisher , then waving to him after he passed him , brought the house down at Ashfield that day . You have to include Chris Harris in that too , anyone who was at Cardiff that night in 2007 , will never forget it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Oh for a few more Shane Parkers! Great on and off track entertainment.🚜 Â Ben Howe was a favoutite of mine - often seemed mad as a box of frogs though 😲 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that a double edge sword kind of thing for bomber, never really lived up to it again at GP level. Fantastic night tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with John Cook...but he could be erratic sometimes which I would have found frustrating if he had ridden for my team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Steve Gresham was a frustrating rider for me a real tough man and rider.He showed in the England v Usa tests he could compete against the best but he never pushed on.In 81 the Holloway/Gresham partnership was one of the best we have ever had even got 5/1s against the Collins/Grahame partnership which took some doing.Gresh had a reputation but everyone i have spoke to said he was a really nice bloke i only met him once and i can second that.
