Triple.H. 1,986 Posted January 30, 2019 Whereabouts does Terry Russell live to be 200 miles from Swindon ? I thought he was a London/Essex lad. That ain't 200 miles unless he avoids right turns at junctions and hitting the motorways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh, Sabre was/is him, Kent Sweepers was just the sponsors i think. Anyway, according to companies house, he's based in Gravesend. Certainly a fair trek, but not 200 miles by any means.

He sold out his Cleaning business pretty early on, and made a lot of money from the sale. Got the feeling that some riders close to him also worked in the company but I might be wrong. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cityrebel 2,960 Posted February 1, 2019 2 hours ago, steve roberts said: I believe Alan Mogridge (?) did at one time? You are both correct. When i worked at Wimbledon back in the 1980's, they were both working at the stadium for the cleaning company. They were also top riders in the old NL at the time. I wonder how many professional riders combine jobs these days. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triple.H. 1,986 Posted February 2, 2019 Andy Galvin [even though he went off the rails] and Alan Mogridge were worth the admission money on their own at most tracks. Top entertainers 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
