Historian Posted December 22, 2024 Report Share Posted December 22, 2024 (edited) Sad to relate, Ivor Davies (Tamworth, Birmingham and Cradley Heath) passed away unnoticed by the speedway community on 8 March 2020, in Tamworth. Ivor Stanley Davies, born 1928 of welsh parents in Towcester, Northants. spent most of his life in Tamworth Staffs. His father was a farmer which may account for the nickname of Digger which he gained at Cradley Heath, a name never used during his time with Birmingham. His seasons with Cradley were marred by injuries, which gave him reason to quit the sport. R.I.P. I forgot to mention Wolverhampton among his teams Dan Forsberg, and Arthur Payne are now the only surviving Brummies from the 1950s Edited December 28, 2024 by Historian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBBATH Posted December 27, 2024 Report Share Posted December 27, 2024 Thanx for posting this mate- Ivor Davies another part of speedway history. I certainly recall him riding forĀ CH. You mentioned both Arthur Payne and Dan Forsberg- both members of the oldest surviving World Finalists list. Are they both still with us - Arthur is 103 for goodness sake - God bless 'em both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
