Ricky Wallace, Ryan Fisher, Nigel Sadler, David Norris, Gary Havelock, Sam Ermolenko, and Jeremy Doncaster. I liked to dislike all of these when ever they rode at Kings Lynn. Martin Dugard as number 8.

This is where its great because Floppy Norris and The Donc are 2 of my favourites

Two laid back and hilarious characters

I can certainly see why they get the reaction from you though

Floppy was by far the best sky commentator,  was a Donky fan in my top lge supporting Ipswich days got a lot of stick for having a blue white Ipswich jacket when they were all the rage as well as a Panthers one

I enjoyed the occasions when Floppy Norris, and also Steve Jonno Johnson, were in the comms box.  Back on topic; I spoke to one promoter [names witheld to protect the innocent, the guilty and self from a poss lawsuit !] about his rider, now retired, who would often dive into to corners, badly impede his team-mate and turn a 'cert 5-1' into a 4-2 or a 3-3, usually followed by 'tween team mate exchange of views & arm-waving.  Unsaid promoter told me the equally unsaid rider in question had tunnel vision and literally never saw anyone or anything outside of his immediate field of view.  It was also pointed out to me that whenout on his own, leading or at the back, the rider never caused any problems - as there was no-one else around him.  Prob just as well he is retired....

Sounds like Graham Drury when riding for Oxford!
