Guest rob123 Posted November 6, 2004 What a great rider, my all time favorite! Starting going speedway in 1986 and followed Silver's carear ever since. He made a come back in 1998 in an individual at Arena called the 12 lapper and almost won it, I think he was leading the final but retired towards the end, I dont think pete Thorogood could talk him in to riding full time the season after. Grachan. can you paste the link of the race you posted in May as it doesn't work now? Iris, I cant locate the pics ps has anyone else got photos of the great man in action they can paste over???

Guest BilaHora Posted November 7, 2004 Mr rob123 I believe I have some action photographs of Andrew Silver riding at Berrington Lough somewhere - I shall see if I can hunt them out. I also have a video of six meetings at Powderhall from 1986-1987 that includes two Arena Essex meetings in which Mr Silver rode - including an interview prior to the 1987 meeting. The other meetings are Edinburgh versus Eastbourne (1986), Edinburgh versus Mildenhall (1986), Edinburgh versus Berwick (1987) and Edinburgh versus Peterborough (1987).

Guest rob123 Posted November 8, 2004 Great action shots Steve! brings back memories of that flamboyant style of his. Such wasted talent! never mind. Bila Hora - I would be interested to see any photos you have, also if it is possible for you to make a copy of your Arena meetings from 1986 and 87, I would be happy to pay good money for them!

Guest BilaHora Posted November 8, 2004 (edited) Mr rob123 I cannot copy the videos but - if you can - I could send you the video and you could return it once complete. The 1987 Edinburgh versus Arena Essex meeting contains a wonderful "...Dick Barrie moment". After the end of the first heat - won by young Master Silver - Mr Barrie announces: "...did you see that...did you see that...anyone at the pits gate...send him round again...he's the new track record holder...no he's not...fastest time of the season".

Guest rob123 Posted November 8, 2004 Hi BilaHora I am in middle of moving at the moment, but when I am settled I will e-mail you my address to send the videos to, otherwise I will probably lose them in boxes somewhere. Thanks, I look forward to seing them Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Topcat 58 Posted November 11, 2004 I also recall seeing Andrew at Berrington Lough and he was very spectacular and was as far as I remember unbeaten that afternoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
