steve roberts Posted June 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Alan Hunt. From all that I have read about him it seems he was not only a hell of a nice bloke but a real tough rider and, according to his wife he was a rubbish mechanic so would have had to score all his points by pure riding skill. Incidentally does anyone on here have any first hand memories of Alan, who sadly died 60 years ago this year. One of speedway's often forgotten men...his memory deserves to be up there with the best!

Piotr Pyszny Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Peter Craven. I was up at Meadowbank Stadium a few weeks ago (watching Edinburgh City play Annan Athletic), and asked a chap, who turned out to be City's chairman, to tell me where the Craven memorial was. Very kindly, he led me through a maze of corridors to the plaque. Having been moved from the foyer, it's now at the end of a particularly gloomy corridor. Whether it will survive the redevelopment of Meadowbank remains to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it will survive the redevelopment of Meadowbank remains to be seen. That is very, very sad. I am surprised it hasn't been given more prominence. Peter deserves better than to have his Memorial hidden away. Can nothing be done about this Edinburgh Fans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 It's a strange thing, but it's probably because I did see Peter Craven on a number of occasions that I don't rate him as highly as some of the others here Same goes for Per Jonsson with me.When i saw him he was never that good,only getting around 6 or 7 points in those meetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
