stevebrum Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Really saddened today to hear of the passing of former Birmingham rider Archie Wilkinson. He never missed a meeting at Perry Barr since they reopened and was always in his usual position on the terraces on the home straight. My original hero as a kid I have had the pleasure of knowing Archie as an adult. Someone I’ve always had time for and has to be one of the nicest, kindest and helpful people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. Such a sad loss to the world, RIP Archie. 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
