auntie doris 2,342 Posted October 2, 2021 Friendly guy and very good rider. Spoke to him at Swindon few years ago recalling the time in 1963 when he beat Bjorn Knutson at New Cross riding for PL Select against Southampton. Survived the terrible crash in Belgium that decimated West Ham. R.I.P. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnieg 3,638 Posted October 2, 2021 When I started following the sport 51 years ago Colin was already a big name in the sport (and would still have been riding if it wasn't for Lokeren). That's a hell of a long time to be a major figure in speedway. My condolences to friends and family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
