steve roberts 9,246 Posted October 31, 2017 Fantastic talent on a bike, up there with the best. I would agree...speedway isn't always about the 'star' riders and World Champions but those who entertained the fans in their own resplendent way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gemini 4,894 Posted November 1, 2017 Can't help thinking that Cheetahhawk would have loved this book as I know Barry Thomas was one of her favourite riders. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hawks 1975 69 Posted November 1, 2017 An all time favourite - many a time he was worth the price of admission alone - just as well he could never gate! Who is this published by? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Argos 262 Posted November 1, 2017 Every time I saw Thommo he had a fag in his mouth and he was always smiling, always had time for the fans up in the bar after a meeting, a very under rated rider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIRKYLANE 537 Posted November 1, 2017 He was brilliant around Hyde Road... flat out entertainment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
