chunky Posted June 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) some like Marvyn Cox also rode in the German Championship.Think he even won it,but nobody thinks he is german Groan................. Thank you for mentioning that. Same with Andy Smith. Because they were riding on a German license, they were considered German when riding in international events. Oh, and did they complain about Mark Loram representing GB despite the fact that he was born in Malta? Finally, there was a comment above about Tai being British "when it suits his own needs". Well, surely the same applies to his critics, who class him as Australian when it suits THEIR needs!

Tsunami Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) I recall that Wiggy rode on a Dutch licence once. Did Paul Thorp not ride on a foreign licence one time. Polish or German ? Also Marvyn Cox. Edited June 19, 2017 by Tsunami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben91 Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 I've always considered myself a pretty intelligent person, but it's amazing just how much I have learned just from spending a few years on the BSF! Not just about speedway, either... Two of the most important things I have learned are : Winning two World Championships and finishing runner-up in another (which no other British rider has ever achieved) does not even make you ONE of the best British World Champions. Being born in Britain, to British parents, means nothing; just because you spent a few years in Australia because your parents moved there, means you are automatically Australian. Oh, and something else I have learned: Every poster on the BSF is right... Steve Hi Tai, good to see you posting on the forum. Fancy doing a shift at Belle Vue on Monday?

chunky Posted June 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Since 2002. Norwegian by birth though. Of course, but Polish citizenship gives him every right to represent Poland. Same with Tadeusz Teodorowicz, Bill Landels, Bob Andrews, and even Ronnie Moore... Hi Tai, good to see you posting on the forum. Fancy doing a shift at Belle Vue on Monday? See the idiots are out in force again... You really think I'm Tai when I haven't said "f*ck" once???
