Without doubt the greatest Scot of all time. In terms of service to the Tigers, Steve Lawson. He was, also a "Saint" for Scunthorpe at Quibell Park at 50 years+.

Yeah with all due respect to him he and his old JAP should have retired before that stint. But I guess speedway was in his blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He retired after 26 matches for Scunthorpe in 1975, at the impressive age of 47. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember him with the old JAP and the gas goggles many riders used back then even though JAWAs and 'monkey masks' were the in thing. George Major and Mike Broadbank were the same.

Weeyin Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 Jack Smith in for Ace on Saturday, did well at Redcar and as a Glasgow asset, this is his chance to shine, not expecting him to get 10 points but if he can get something in heat 2 and at least challenge opposition number 7, that will be a start. I remember when he joined Glasgow a few years back, I think he relied on his Dad's reputation, but he has grown up somewhat since then and he can gate, so good luck to the lad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kym Mauger, Tony Briggs, Aiden and Chris Collins come to mind. George Stancl and the late Lee Richardson were two exceptions that come to mind.

All their spare cash was spent on spares for their bikes rather than booze and the likes. Two of the best recommendations Jimmy Mac made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he was over a fews weeks ago for a practice. He would be on a 5 point average though. Maybe he was being considered as a Nowak replacement or with a view to next season Edited September 20, 2023 by gmarsbar2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, Sean Courtney brought Jason to Shawfield. Shane raced the 1987 season for Newcastle, was here to start 1988 with the Diamonds when they suddenly pulled out the National League in mid-March. Shane was contacted and invited to join Tigers at that point. Jimmy Mac was manager of Berwick 1987/88. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
