old bob at herne bay Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Belated birthday greetings Ove ..... you provided me some great entertainment over the years - always a pleasure to see the visits of the Norwich Stars to the London Tracks. You certainly mastered "The Frying Pan" on your first visit ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbold Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 And now 91 and still looking as fit as he did in his prime. Happy birthday to my hero and good friend, Ove. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 He won many titles, and deservedly so, but this one was given to him “Mr Perpatual Motion”, 10 top three places on the trot in the world championship between 1956-1965. He missed out in 1966 (f I recall correctly SVEMO banned him riding), he came back in 1967, whilst riding for Belle Vue, and won it for the last time. An amazing record. Only other rider to do 10 top three finishes on the trot in the world championship was Jason Crump from 2001-2010 in the gran prix era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Best rider I've ever seen, winning 1963 World Final at Wembley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBBATH Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Happy Birthday Ove, I reckon you've got a good few laps to do still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Watching Peter Craven and Ove thundering into the 3rd bend at Belle Vue (where I always stood), especially for the Golden Helmet Match Race, was absolutely amazing. Two brilliant riders, completely different in build and riding styles, racing very close but not clashing, total respect for each other........ never to be forgot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
