JCookie Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 Anyone fancy contributing to a thread about ex speedway riders and where they are now? The Danish Jan Andersen just popped into my head and I wonder what he's up to now, same as Jimmy Nielsen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember his first season at Swindon and subsequent appearances for 'The Cheetahs' on two seperate occasions. Should have achieved more on the international stage in my opinion but seemed happy and dependable at club level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter issues usually feature 3 or 4 pages of a look back to a team from a certain year and that includes info on the riders and what they did after/now.

Presumably they are paying for these adverts so are all helping to keep the magazine going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
