IPSWICH v KING'S LYNN 70s & 80s - YOUR MEMORIES

In the next issue (94) of Backtrack we will be reviewing some of the classic East Anglian derby clashes between the Witches and Stars . . . and we'd like to add personal memories of these local battles from our readers and other supporters . . .

There was nothing peaceful about these clashes, which were frequently controversial, often closely-contested, and invariably watched by massive crowds.

Both teams had highly-attractive line-ups, with some of the best riders in the world thrown into opposition.

This article largely features on the years between 1975 and 1982, when the likes of John ‘Tiger’ Louis, Billy Sanders and Tony Davey were doing battle against Michael Lee, Terry Betts and Ian Turner, with cameos from stars such as Dave Jessup, Dennis Sigalos and Anders Michanek.
