Sidney the robin Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Persson's move on Briggs was disgraceful. The '72 and '73 finals had perhaps the worst-ever referee for World Finals (the starts were an utter joke). It beggers belief that Persson wasn't excluded from the re-run by George Transpurger. All the best Rob It looked bad Sam and Briggo was my hero a GREAT in my eyes but did Barry leave him to much room.? To this day i believe Briggs would of won that final Ole might of beat him once but anyway thats history.Persson was a hell of a rider dogged as they come and i put him with Boulger,Eide,Lovaas,McMillan,Harrefelt,Nordin,as riders we often forget all classy.

cityrebel Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Even though the stadium remained partly closed for most of the matches, I really enjoyed the lions revival in the early 1970's. I was just a kid at the time, but I can remember the "March of the gladiators" playing at parade time like it was yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
