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 November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iโm pleased to hear Davidโs doing well. I didnโt/donโt know him personally, but he came across as a lovely young man when interviewed and evidently gave his all on the track. In a topic of inevitable sadness, itโs pleasing to hear heโs not only doing well, but is thriving. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
