Guest Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Sadly - and I was directly involved with Eastbourne circa 1953-1959 as was a colleague Al Holliday (machine examiner and part-time team manager) this talk of a Finn riding at Arlington Stadium in the mid 1950s appears to be some sort of wind-up. Like myself Al Holliday has no recollections of any Finnish riders being involved with Eastbourne from late 1953 to 1959. However, if we are wrong we will accept being corrected and updated on this matter. Edited September 19, 2020 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-s-p 832 Posted September 20, 2020 10 hours ago, gustix said: I have checked details re the 1953 season (just one match at Aldershot recorded on Speedway Researcher) and in the 1954 Southern Area League season. All the riders named for Eastbourne were/are known to me. No Finnish rider named for any Eagles team - as previously mentioned a couple of meetings had Dave Yianarri in the side. Thank you.
