Very sad news!

Phil helped me to get started as photographer at the GP's around 10 years ago, and also with my first publications in the Star.

Great to talk with him. Always friendly.

RIP my friend.

The Speedway star kept on going through some really  tough times but Philip  had the vision to keep on track.The longevity of that magazine is outstanding, a great tribute to Philip and his hard work and having  great staff with him at the speedway star.The biggest thing for me was he always listened and always wanted to move the magazine forward.He  will be a huge loss to speedway and he for for me was in the John Berry mould , people had huge respect for him but he had his own view as well.RIP Philip.

Very sorry to hear that. Obviously he was a huge supporter of the sport and a talented writer. In many ways, it is incredible a weekly magazine of the quality of Speedway Star is still going....no doubt his passion for the sport was a huge, huge part of that.

RIP Phil. So sorry to hear this news. We’ve lost a towering force for good and his influence on our great sport that stretches back over 50 years.

Minute well observed at Wolves tonight, never met Phil but felt like I knew him. Was wondering the other day why no recent posts 

R.I.P Phil
