Totally right Steve Halifax could of signed Bruce but it never happened.But before the infamous incident 82 both Kenmy/Bruce got on well after were both respectful of each other's ability.

As i am aware Steve, Kenny got on very well with the Moran's named his daughter after Kelly.Even though you cannot forget the wicked thing Kenny did you cannot take away that he was a great rider.

I viewed his grave a couple of years ago.

Actually, only until 81 when Penhall knocked Kenny off (And got excluded) in the 81 overseas final. Kenny said exactly what he thought!

The White City incident started it off and there were a few other moments  before.I think there was a tough race between the two at Belle Vue in a England v USA  match ??  but before that they got on well i have a picture of the two smiling after Carter had beaten him in the helmet at Halifax.

The only test at belle vue they met each other in was 82. At least one of the two times they met in tgat meet is on YouTube I think

Yes i have that meeting on Dvd, pity some of the BLRC meetings 1982/83 were not covered some of my best speedway memories 1983 was a good year for me.

BLRC 82 is available on DVD but the quality of recording is very very poor.

As an Aces fan 82 is my favourite year of that era. And the last year when all the sports big names remained..before u lost Penhall, Olsen, Sigalos, Sanders, carter, lee etc over the subsequent years.
