TonyMac 720 Posted December 18, 2008 John Titman fans or admirers may be interested to know that we've got a chunky four-page interview with the former Aussie champ in the latest issue (No.29) of Backtrack, which subscribers should receive in the post this weekend or Monday. Must say it was a pleasure talking to this down-to-earth Aussie, who gained such well-earned respect during his spells with Halifax, Exeter, Leicester, Hackney and Wimbledon before returning to Oz at the end of 1984. In the meantime, you can view some new pics of John on our website: http://www.retro-speedway.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spiegal 294 Posted December 18, 2008 In the few years I ran the European part of Australia Speedway...Tito was highly experienced...and I thought that he would be "difficult" How wrong can you be ? Tito was the nicest, most laid back, efficient, uncomplaining Rider you could ever wish to deal with. A thoroughly nice man, superb rider, extremely professional, and a credit to both teh sport, his country, and indeed any Team he rode for. Top man...and somebody I was delighted to call a "mate" JAMES Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyM 1 Posted December 18, 2008 Always an entertaining and combative rider and nice guy, though my abiding memory of him is a match at Leicester against the Aces where he led an absolutely charmed life to score a paid 18 point maximum, thanks to PC suffering an engine failure in front of him, Mort and Wilkie having problems that let him through as I recall. But if any rider deserved that luck, John was that man! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
