Fair play, many would dream of making such a video with their loved one.

Great memories for them to look back on.

I hardly think they were expecting 'critical acclaim'.

In a world full of doom and gloom and negativity, nice to see something positive.

Eric Chitty was said to be a good singer, often entertaining the crowds with a song, Len Silver, perhaps not so good but according to his book he would often entertain clients at his Silver Ski resort , singing and accompanying himself on the ukulele. I have heard Howdy Byford fancied himself as as singer after a few beers. Are there any other riders known for their singing ,? I use the word singing in the loosest possible way in Fred’s Case.

Pity we don’t see Freddie over here any more though..

Austrian speedway rider of the 1950s Karl Killmeyer /the younger brother of pre-war rider Leopold Killmeyer) sang and recorded the "Speedway Fox", which became a quite pupular tune in Vienna ca,1953. 

 

I was trying to remember that one . Thanks for finding it

Also thought a group of riders ( was it one from each team?) brought out a record around 1974-ish Speedway Riders United or something. Sure Bert Harkins and possibly Scott Autrey were involved

Yep. That pic was on the cover of SS. I seem to remember Martin Ashby and John Louis as well.
