WembleyLion Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 I met a chap last Friday and we got talking about Speedway as you do. He mentioned his only real knowledge of Speedway was through Bryan Seery, who was his Maths teacher at the time, back in the 70's.He hasn't seen or heard of Bryan since those days and did not pursue his mentor's interest of Speedway. Does anyone have any news of Bryan since the demise of Seery's statistics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shazzybird Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Is that it Kev? No mention of what he had done after the SS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepturningleft Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Bryan Seery compiled a weekly fact filled article every week in the Halifax programme in the 60's under the title of - wait for it - Halifacts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyMac Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 It's not conclusive evidence, but I hope Bryan is still very much alive and kicking. A Bryan Seery, from Kent, has taken out a subscription to our Backtrack Magazine - can't imagine there are too many Bryan Seerys about with an interest in speedway in the 70s/80s....?

KevH Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 It's not conclusive evidence, but I hope Bryan is still very much alive and kicking. I'd like to think so too Tony, but can assure you the statistician Bryan Seery was reported to have died in the speedway press some years back.

KAM Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 About 3 years ago a request from me for an obscure 70's Speedway scorecard was printed in the Speedway researcher magazine. A bloke called Bryan Seery sent me a photocopy of an immaculately filled in scorechart from that meeting. His address was a village near Sevenoaks. I assumed it was the famous Speedway statto but I can't be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Tyrrell Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 I remember Brian Seery's stats articles of the time. His was the last word on such things. Stranger things have happened. Some years ago one of our rugby club players went to live in Thailand, and it was later reported that he had died. There was a picture and a report in the local press, and a memorial match and cup was arranged. We were all sat in the changing room waiting to go out when his brother came in told us to cancel the match - he had just found out that it was an insurance scam. We played the match anyway!
