mickthemuppet Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 I could not believe that the Firs Stadium would close as when I went there in the late 50's the place was always packed on a Saturday night .I don't think I saw Ove Fundin get beat many times nor the Stars lose at home Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Was chatting to a Somerset fan last night at the Oaktree Arena, started watching speedway at Norwich in 1956. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andout Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Some great stuff in those clips...memories...aaahhh! I met Peter Craven, along with my parents as a young lad (about 10 or 11) in the Norwich Club House......what a hero he was of mine. I remember taking his picture with my Brownie Box camera (still have the photo somewhere) .....and he sat next to me while talking to my parents.....he never ignored me, asked me questions...what one's, I have no idea but those moments live with me to this day. I had seen him ride many times, mainly at New Cross, where he was almost invincible and then at Wimbledon......saw him ride a couple of times at the old Hyde Road and that was a sight to behold........Happy Days! Devastated when he was killed, very sad day for the sport. Edited August 2, 2018 by andout error 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Remember the night he died, my dad came into my room to wake me and tell me the sad news. Had his rosette on my wall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
