norbold Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Very sorry to hear that. He was in England's first WTC team in 1960. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve roberts Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 I remember there was talk of him making a comeback during the early seventies...had a feeling that he had a practice spin in the car park? RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP I think he had practiced in 1973 and he was going to try a comeback in a one off four team tournament to see how he went.That meeting fell foul to the weather so nothing ever materialised.

Whoever wrote the obituary for the Swindon Speedway website has forgotten that he rode in the 1957 Wembley final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOBBATH Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 There was talk of George coming back in 1965-wish he had would have loved to see him ride-there was similar talk about Ian Williams coming back for Newport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
