TonyMac Posted August 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Hi Tony. In my two books about Jack Millen, "Crazy Jack" and "Both Sides Of The Track", you will find plenty of interesting tales of Jack and his pal Jim Wells. You are welcome to using any material from these books. Cheers Bob Ferry Hi Many thanks, Bob, that's very good of you. Will probably take you up on the offer next year, when we plan to run a piece in memory of Jack to mark the 40th anniversary of his death.

OveFundinFan Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I suppose I am not surprised the "quiet man" of speedway has not been mentioned - Bob Duckworth - a Belle Vue Aces rider back in the 60's and also Newcastle Diamonds. Whilst with the Aces Bob and his family used to live in Partington, Manchester, where the Collins/Morton families came from. Bob used to use my dads garage to mechanic his bikes. In 1963 he was invited to present trophies at a cycle speedway meeting in Manchester, he took mum, dad and myself to the meeting and that was the start of myself being a cycle speedway rider then later grass track racing.
