norbold 7,099 Posted October 29, 2003 This discussion on Larry Ross is very interesting. I'm sure Montine Dons is very pleased she asked about Rudy Muts and now has all the information she needs. ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
salty 2,200 Posted October 29, 2003 I was wondering if anyone can help me I am researching for information for my new website that I will be setting up over the close season, at the moment I am looking for information on Wimbledon rider Rudy Muts. Rudy was born in Holland 1956. Rode for the Dons fron 1977-1981. In his first full season(1978) he averaged 6.42, but I seem to remember he had a bad crash the next year (broken arm?) and was never as good again. Dropped out at the start of 81, returned at the end, but only averaged 2.50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact I'm sure I read somewhere that he emigrated to Australia? Still wouldn't mind knowing what happened to Larry Ross though.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,314 Posted October 30, 2003 I remember Rudy Mutts being signed by Swindon at one stage, but never actually riding for the Robins. I think it was a classic bad Swindon transfer move with Rudy & Alf Busk coming and Steve Bastable moving on. Maybe someone (Frigbo?) can remember more details than me. There are some pictures of Rudy Mutts in the 70s section of the Wimbledon website. And Larry Ross! http://www.wimbledonspeedway.co.uk/1970's_...s__part_two.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hagonshocker 1,956 Posted October 30, 2003 it was at the start of the 1983 season when there was all that stuff going on with wally mawdsley vacating the promoters seat..or more like he was forced out!!!!..we were all at a meeting when he announced the signing and there was mutters of discontent all round!!!....i can only imagine when richard vowles took over rudy was rather swept under the carpet...but we still had to put up with a team like this!!!: gresham busk b.andersson yeates crump t.broadbank denzil kent! i think this was the team we put out at reading in a challenge..or something close....later we had the reinforcements like phil herne and milan spinka!!...oh and an aborted bob kilby comeback!!!!..so we may as well had used rudy!!!!
