steve roberts 9,242 Posted August 21, 2017 Superb team man and a loyal servant to "The Stars". His international record was good with two WTC Golds and a World Best Pairs Gold but individually only qualified for the one World Final...but I personally would put that down to the number of genuine British riders there were during the seventies which made qualification all the more difficult beyond the British Final especially when one remembers that the 'Anzacs' were also involved at that stage.

iris123 20,935 Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Very consistent set of averages.Quite amazingly consistent.Was a very good rider,without being outstanding Just looked at 1972 and Terry was equal 3rd in the league,behind Olsen and Mauger and tied with Michanek.Quite amazing really,that he could never kick on at individual level Edited August 21, 2017 by iris123 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The White Knight 9,039 Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Great Rider, Great Team Man who showed great loyalty to Kings Lynn. A Rider who I very much admired when he was in his pomp. Which looks like all the time he rode looking at those figures. Edited August 21, 2017 by The White Knight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K3Scotty 31 Posted September 27, 2017 Terry Betts, my absolute idol when I was a youngster. My dad took me to Kings Lynn every week in the 70's and I would religiously wait in the riders car park in the same spot where he parked every week waiting for him to turn up so he could sign my autograph book(every week!). I stopped going when he left Lynn. He has been at Kings Lynn a couple of times this season and seeing the amount of fans that want their pic taken with him and autograph etc just show the esteem which he is held in at the club. Definately Mr Kings Lynn... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
