Sad news indeed. Saw him many times over the years always had time for a chat and an autograph, he was a regular at the Sunderland speedway reunions and was a great story teller. God bless him.

steve roberts Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 That's sad...saw him ride a few times. I'm sure he was also a postman whilst riding speedway? RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wessex Wanderer Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Sad news. Was at Lew Coffin’s Weymouth Training School 70-71ish and was a big character from day 1. Good career and never changed from being a friendly and approachable guy who was always ready for a chat. Finished as runner up to Brian Woodward in one of the annual Training School Trophies. RIP Pete 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
