steve roberts 9,242 Posted January 2, 2018 I remember there was talk of him making a comeback during the early seventies...had a feeling that he had a practice spin in the car park? RIP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RIP I think he had practiced in 1973 and he was going to try a comeback in a one off four team tournament to see how he went.That meeting fell foul to the weather so nothing ever materialised.

Whoever wrote the obituary for the Swindon Speedway website has forgotten that he rode in the 1957 Wembley final. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOBBATH 466 Posted January 11, 2018 There was talk of George coming back in 1965-wish he had would have loved to see him ride-there was similar talk about Ian Williams coming back for Newport Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
