BOBBATH Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 I can think of 2 possibles- Sverre Harrfeldt and Dag Lovaas. Any others. I of course recall Sverre very well- could have been World Champ without his dreadful injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salty Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Odd Fossengen and Edgar Stangeland spring to mind. Odd rode from 1968 -1974 at Poole whilst Ed rode for a number of clubs throughout the 70's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 I think my previous post on the short stay thread actually belongs here: He remained in Britain until 1971, riding for Wembley Lions so it was certainly not a "short stay" for Sverre Harrfeldt. But I thought I would mention that I saw the Norwegian make his debut for Wimbledon in 1963. I recall he rode an introductory lap around the track carrying a Norwegian flag before the meeting. He moved on to West Ham and I believe Olle Nygren went in the opposite direction in a swap deal. At West Ham he was undoubtedly a world class performer recording two ten plus average seasons and finishing runner-up to Barry Briggs in the 1966 world final.

norbold Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 3 hours ago, Split said: He moved on to West Ham and I believe Olle Nygren went in the opposite direction in a swap deal. Sverre came to West Ham in 1965. The swap was with Reg Luckhurst. Olle came to West Ham in 1969 following Sverre's departure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
