Sad news indeed. Saw him many times over the years always had time for a chat and an autograph, he was a regular at the Sunderland speedway reunions and was a great story teller. God bless him.

steve roberts 9,242 Posted January 30, 2021 That's sad...saw him ride a few times. I'm sure he was also a postman whilst riding speedway? RIP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wessex Wanderer 148 Posted January 31, 2021 Sad news. Was at Lew Coffin’s Weymouth Training School 70-71ish and was a big character from day 1. Good career and never changed from being a friendly and approachable guy who was always ready for a chat. Finished as runner up to Brian Woodward in one of the annual Training School Trophies. RIP Pete 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
