Also a possibility Henning Loof stayed on ? I think he got married to a British woman, although he did turn up in Germany a few years back and rode in one or two meetings before disappearing again. So not sure where he is

Arne rode for Oxford from 1959 to 1968 and had great success despite serious injuries. He lived in England until his death at 83

Yes mum remembers him as a regular visitor to the local Health Centre on Blackbird Leys where she worked at the time!

His Instagram account says he lives in Somerset. Don't know when that was posted though.

Good shout. I was also thinking of Jan Steachmann and Sam Ermolenko, but not sure on whether they reside in the UK or not now

I think Stekkers runs the old speedway dvd thing, classic speedway videos.com or something like that - so assume that's his base - somewhere like stafford i think it was.

From memory he returned home but after so long over here he couldn’t settle. So came back, was down Wolves last year with his son

Seems strange that Californians settle with our lovely weather. Hancock even seems to have settled quite nicely in Sweden, although his career isn't over yet. And Shawn Moran was possibly still is living down in south Germany
