phillipsr 2,053 Posted August 4, 2015 Remember the buzz when David started out and saw him ride against Mildenhall and he certainly lived up to the hype. Always Liked watching him and he was practically unbeatable at my closest track Rye House when he first dropped down. Enjoy your retirement David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPNY 608 Posted August 4, 2015 Was not a particularly nice kid when he started out and thought he was going to be the next big thing. Seems he became a bit more humble over the course of his career...However was a good servant to British speedway and wish him well in his retirement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fourentee 987 Posted August 4, 2015 Very best wishes to David. I had the pleasure of interviewing him on several occasions and can assure those posters who have not met him that his retirement announcement exactly reflects the man -- warm, sincere and engagingly candid. He was a joy to interview, never ducking a question and always answering with depth and insight. Impossible to write a dull quotes piece with David (however hard it may appear to readers that I tried...!). The night he qualified for the Cardiff GP was a very special one indeed. Good luck for the future. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinny 2,536 Posted August 5, 2015 A regular at individuals at Newport over the years and a regular A Finalist. Remember hoping he would sign for Newport when he first announced he was dropping back down to the PL. Sadly, for us anyway, he opted for Scunny. A brilliant PL rider . All the best David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the best David Gosh, yes, I can now remember him winning the (February?) meeting one year and beating Chris Harris in the final. Had forgotten that.
