Why are you such a PLANK? a cretin of the highest order.

So it is one rule for some and another rule for others is it Robin?

 

 

You didn't keep to the rules,why should i?

Southampton and Norwich would be top of the list for me,if we are talking about tracks outside of London

Andrew Silver round the old frying pan,that would have been worth the money alone.What a sight to see him hanging off round those bends,eh?

 

Which brings me to another thought......pick 4 British riders and a track for a great race

 

I would love to have seen Farndon,Collins,Craven and Lee in a series of heats at New Cross

In my lifetime ( was too young to see Craven ride ) , you have to put Woffinden top of the list . Despite him turning his back on British Speedway , he is a double world champion .

1 Tai Woffinden

2 Peter Collins

3 Michael Lee

4 Mark Loram

5 Dave Jessup

6 Malcolm Simmons

7 John Louis

8 Chris Morton

9 Eric Boocock

10 Kenny Carter

From the riders I remember (early 80's onwards):

 

Woffinden, Carter, Lee, K Tatum (personal favourite at Plough Lane) , Loram, P. Collins, Simmons, Morton, Wigg, C Louis

 

As for that mythical race at New Cross, you've surely got to include George Newton ... ;)

I'm more concerned that he left buzz burrows, Mike bast and Barry butterworth off his list!

 

Just for you waihekeaces1: Another memory of New Zealand speedway legend Barry Butterworth who was also a star in Australia and the USA. Rightly regarded as one of his country's speedway all-time greats - but TBH not really one of the Top 10 British Riders of All Time. Enjoy - I think the photo was taken at the Western Springs track in New Zealand.
