Yes he did, but continues to this day to suffer ill-effects from the crash well over 40 years ago

In 1932 there were apparently rumours that Crystal Palace were relocating to Catford. Fred Mockford denied this and added that construction of speedway at Catford Stadium would not be permitted - Norwood News, 2 Sep 1932

I have an autograph book with about half a dozen rider autographs from Coventry Speedway 1930, which include Squib Burton, Jack Parker and Tom Farndon. They are genuine - they were collected by my previous mother-in-law and she handed the book to me in the 1960s I often wonder if they have any value?

That’s very nice of him, considering all the damage he’s done to our beloved sport in this country

To me, doubling up is a problem To me, fixed race nights are a problem To me, one league senior league, plus a development league, is a must

Does no one go to watch the sport, to get their enjoyment from the spectacle which is speedway racing, anymore? How attitudes have changed - it now seems it’s all about winning, rather than entertainment What was the draw when crowds were big? It was the sport, the thrills, the spills, even the smell, the characters - didn’t matter too much about the result, so long as the spectators got their money’s worth from watching the racing It didn’t even matter too much who the opposition was - every week, there was the speedway racing to watch and enjoy, that was the be all and end all, cheer on your favourites, boo the other team, but marvel at the spectacle they provided Where did it all go wrong?
