Svein Kaasa.

Recommended Posts

45 years ago today since Svein lost his life at Hampden Park. R.I.P.

I second that having watched Svein ride for 'The Rebels' before he was replaced and eventually signed for Glasgow.

 

RIP

Yeah sits outside the Tigers Den on the first bend . I was only 13 at the time , but can still see him clipping Martin Ashby's back wheel and being catapulted up into the air . Was where the impact was when he came back down that killed the lad . He will always be remembered up here .
