I was at his place a couple of week ago and he was telling me that he had attended Alan Wilkinson's funeral and there weren't many there.

There wouldnt be many there bex=cause of the covid-19 rules. This shouldnt detract from the fact Wilkie was a popular guy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This shouldnt detract from the fact Wilkie was a popular guy. I witnessed Alan's accident in 1978 at Hyde Road and all I can say is that thankfully, the way fallen riders are now dealt with means that they are considerably less likely to suffer such life-changing injuries. I spoke to Alan a couple of times in the pits when he visited the Dog Bowl and whilst not the easiest person to talk to, his courage was immense.

OveFundinFan 4,141 Posted November 20, 2020 Ah, love dogs but cats are the best. 10 years ago we moved from Warrington, where we live now near Chester we could take the two cats we then had (usually had three at a time) but when they died we couldn’t replace them. Long time since gone and don half miss them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speedtiger 327 Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) 2 BV legends, not 100% sure think Peter Collins is in wedding car hire....well he was. Not seen him at BV for a few years since his mate Chris Morton left. Think Mort might be doing insurance-finance?
