Yes remember that Steve, i remember Toni Kasper getting a paid maximum there to.Also Sigalos scored a full 15 from reserve in 1979( he never met Kilb though so unusual) the biggest shock though was Einar Kylingstad getting a full 15 for Kings Lynn at the Abbey.Back to the topic Autrey/ Gresham 1980 Swindon.

I witnessed all those achievements Sid! Used to enjoy my trips to Swindon...as for Gresham? A nutter on a bike but apparently has mellowed over the years!

Met him once such a nice bloke, Gresh certainly kept Holloway on his toes in there partnership.That partnership was one of the few that could beat Grahame/ Collins Cradley Gresh was one of my favourites at Swindon nobody messed with him that’s for sure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Minor Speedway nations! In that case Collins and Grahame at Cradley! Point taken though - no Danes from late 70's onwards. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
