Eric Boocock

To mark the 40th anniversary of Halifax’s triple success in 1966 and the publication of his fascinating new book, Around in Circles, England star Booey looks back on some of his early racing days with Middlesbrough and then the Dukes.

 

Stan Stevens

In part 2 of our candid exclusive, Lokeren survivor Stan recalls the full horror of the accident that killed five of his British speedway colleagues and sent the sport reeling in 1970. Stan, who astonishingly returned to the saddle the following season, provides the most gripping account of the Lokeren disaster ever published.

As his new autobiography continues to provoke great debate throughout the sport, Super Simmo reflects on his early league days at Hackney and West Ham.

 

Aub Lawson

The legendary Aussie is the latest in our series of spectacular leg-trailers, one who quickly adapted to the foot-forward style too.

 

Bluey Wilkinson

He only had one year in charge at Sheffield, but former Tigers promoter Ray Glover explains why the former World Champion made such a big impression there in 1939.

 

Carlo Biagi MBE

Tribute to the Miracle Doc.

 

Attendances – do they always add up?

We ask if crowd figures were all they seemed to be.

 

Dave Collins

St Austell

Reviewing another historic book on defunct tracks.

 

Speedway Museum

More great developments on the fund-raising front and how runaway Grand Prix leader Jason Crump has given the Speedway Museum a massive boost.

 

Plus…Eric Linden, Ian Hoskins, your letters and much more…

When the end of season awards are being dolled out it would be a travesty if Moggo was not awarded an "Outstanding Contribution" Award for his career in British Speedway. And by the sounds of it, his ride to win the Fours was exactly that... An Outstanding Contribution.... Very few riders by the sheer mention of their name are able conjure up an image and atmosphere unique to them... Alan Mogridge was able to do that.... always 100% on and off the track... will be sorely missed... Best wishes and enjoy your speedway retirement....(but hopefully be tempted out for the occasional Testimonial!!!)
