CardinalSin 346 Posted August 8, 2013 Taken from Ipswich Witches website: Fans Forum On Saturday Night Thursday, 08 August 2013 08:32 Also advance notice that ex-Witch Dennis Sigalos will be visiting Foxhall on Thursday August 22nd (Ipswich v Plymouth). Now I'll certainly be there! My idol as a kid growing up in the 80's. Witches legend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Had Enough 233 Posted August 8, 2013 Sigalos was easily one of the smoothest and most stylish riders ever - he made the sport look effortless. Paired-up with Penhall to become Powerboat racing champions after they retired from speedway. Some excellent articles online from USA, dated around 1995, if you use Sigalos Penhall Powerboat as your keywords. I always remember an interview with Sigalos on the centregreen at Foxhall when he mentioned his friends from Hi-Point. Of course, everyone in the crowd heard it as "Highpoint" which is a prison in Suffolk! There were a few raised eyebrows and a lot of laughter . I also remember some good times at the Royal William in Ipswich, where Cook & Sigalos were well looked after by hosts Keith & Sandy. When Sigalos visits Foxhall it will be just a few days after his 54th birthday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shrimpfan 11 Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) Good times! Could you ask him to bring some Justice Bros. stickers please?! I've dug out my old ex-Siggy Justice Bros cap for him to sign again as the original autograph has faded! Edited August 8, 2013 by Shrimpfan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reviresco 708 Posted August 8, 2013 Can't believe that Sigalos has hijacked an Ipswich v Redcar thread.... The last time I saw him, Siggy hadn't aged that well and I hardly recognised him - yes, I know I can talk about aging well.... A super, smooth, fast and stylish rider, but Sanders was the better rider and was a far better servant to the Witches. Loved '83 when the two of them road in the team together - think Sigalos just missed out on an 11pt average that season. Just a shame some of Sigalos' 'fans' were so nasty to Billy.

Lord Antebellum 87 Posted August 8, 2013 Sigalos was Number 3 in the world 30 years ago. One of the zippiest gaters of all time.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Siggytastic 180 Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) Can someone lend Siggy a bike to do a few laps? Edited August 9, 2013 by Siggytastic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reviresco 708 Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) Can't believe that Sanders has hijacked an Ipswich v Redcar thread....... Ha, ha brilliant. Maybe Sam Tesar can hijack the Ipswich v Plymouth thread when it starts. Yes Siggy was No.3 in the World, behind Bruce Penhall and Les Collins in LA in 1982. Sanders was 3rd in 1980 and 2nd in 1983 and was in 3 x Witches League winning sides in 1975, 1976 & 1984 and KO Cup winner in 1976, 1978 & 1984 captaining the Witches to a league and cup double. Good times which, tragically, weren't going to last much longer..... Edited August 9, 2013 by macca56 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Had Enough 233 Posted August 10, 2013 Can't believe that Sanders has hijacked an Ipswich v Redcar thread....... Well, Sigalos has actually, with Sanders joining the fun. Two quite different riders, but equally brilliant in their own ways - and terrific personalities too. There really is something missing these days. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reviresco 708 Posted August 10, 2013 Good to see the Thread back on track. Maybe we can revive the Sigalos / Sanders debate when the Plymouth thread is started. Weather forecast good for tonight, cloudy but warm, only dropping to 19c by 10pm. Hopefully a decent attendance for an off-night meeting and all the riders finish the meeting safe and well.
