Andrew Silver

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???

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).

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!

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".

Rob123,

 

Mine too!!

 

I forgot to change my post, but I've over written the file. I have a few Andrew Silver races on video though. If you want I can go through them and put them onto either a tape or a DVD for you. E-mail me your address if you like.
