Ewan, there is one absolutely classic picture of George Hunter which was taken in about 1961 at Meadowbank. I hasten to add that I don't have a copy, but if you ask around at Armadale someone is bound to have it.

 

The photo shows George battling it out with Clive Featherby of Sheffield, and shows the almost lost art of lying across your oponent's bike while he tries to pick your nose with his elbow! I didn't start going to speedway until 1962, so I can't say whether they both actually finished the race.

 

I guess I haven't seen that photo in some forty years, but it's the one above all others that stands out in my memory.

George, outside of being a quality rider and a nice person,.. he was really funny. great sense of humour and i think anyone who ever had the pleasure to meet him never forgot him. a real character and a true scot. i will never forget when he thanked his fans for the support, and then said he would wear it every time he raced.. great person.. :)

Here with Peter Craven on the night of PC's fatal crash at Edinburgh. Sorry but it is the only one I have of George Hunter in my collection.

 

 

Dick D..

I have the same pic, rumoured to be the last ever taken of PC.

Wolves 1975

 

George Hunter in the front row, but I don't know who the big hairy DLT type lurking in the background is!

I have a copy of that photo (somewhere) When I find it I will scan it and also try to look up the race details.
