Playing around in the garden with a gun and some mates and he managed to shoot himself in the head. He has recovered and he came over to Newcastle to present Archie Freeman (who idolised him) with his ย British 150cc Championship in 2019. Lovely guy, brilliant gater and he lives in Denmark and rides a big road bike. Could have been a great rider.ย 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago The first loss I recall is David Nix (Apologies if Iโve got the name wrong) in the early 00s at Kingโs Lynn. I remember reading about it in the Speedway Star and becoming acutely aware how dangerous the sport was. Lee Richardson was also a shock. I had drifted away from the sport by then, but Lee I was saddened by the news of his passing. Former riders like Lawrence Hare, Neil Hewitt, David McAllan, Garry Stead, Darcy Ward, etc. gave their livelihood for our entertainment. I hope their combative and competitive mindsets that brought them to the sport have aided them in their new ways of life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iโm happy to be corrected and in all honesty, hope I am. I think David would be surprised to hear that heโs in a wheelchair. Yes, he suffered long term and career ending injuries but heโs one of the most positive people around - and mobile. I spoke to him and his wife at the Pairs at Oxford and they were then going on to Cardiff for the GP. Speedway was a sport not a living for David and, despite what happened, he is really upbeat about his time racing and his life in general. He held down a job when riding and continues to work now. He has also been spannering for Edinburghโs Lasse Fredricksen. As far as Armadale is concerned, heโs certainly not โleftโ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
