I assume by Holder you mean Chris?
If so, didn't he ride for IOW for two (+?) seasons before moving up with Poole. Although if my memory is right, there was a grey area that Poole paid the flight costs etc. so IOW could train him up first
Darcy was purchased from Kings Lynn having had a successful spell with them in the lower division
So neither literally landed in UK and went straight into the Poole side, they gained experience elsewhere first. Whereas Tony Langdon, Leigh Adams and Craig Boyce all started at Poole in what was then the National League back in the 1980s
Please feel free to correct me on any of the above or add further info (on the off-chance it was all a strange dream!)

No team for 12 months yet we still get on the forums, Never will comets die , long live the comets, 3 times trophy winners, Glasgow where are you !!
Ok, I'll bite
Why would it wind up Poole fans? I can't recall there being any bad feelings between the two clubs
I for one am sad when any track has to close

Adams was only at one season before he went to Swindon, he did return though so can't have been that bad.

Leigh Adams rode for Poole in the then National League back in 1989. Poole remained in that League for 1990 season. Over the 89/90 winter, Leigh moved up to the British League by joining Swindon

Thanks
I just remember when the 1987 film he did alongside John Malkovich "Empire of the Sun" came out, that the Evening Echo (Bmth) became obsessed with the Bournemouth boy making it big in Hollywood

can certainly recommend the film. A delight for race fans and a remarkable performance by Christian Bale as Ken Miles the English driver.
he absolutely nailed the accent and expression. Even his walk was quintessentialy English!
Great to see a nod to Speedway in there!
BiB: I'm sure Christian Bale spent his early yrs in UK
Born in Havorfordwest, and attended Bournemouth School (the boys Grammar School)

I remember JC (and Mark Lemon) racing post main meeting for Reserve League team or whatever it was calling itself. Apart from a few tape exclusions, he was clearly destined for greatness

He seemed convinced that the extra experience, even in a league he had already mastered, was better for him.
Very few riders master a league and are ready to move up in just one season.
Jason Crump advised Chris to do another season at IOW before moving up
Anyway, apologies for deviating, back to thread topic...
