Haven't seen this news anywhere else on here so thought I'd post this link. Simon suffered a "serious stroke" last week and is currently starting the recovery process. The facebook page has been set up by his family to keep everyone aware of his progress. (13) Facebook

A life well lived who gave an awful lot to Speedway over the (many) years. RIP.

2025 GP line up/wildcards
salty replied to eric i's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Whilst Rune was indeed riding under a Polish licence and rode for them in the WTC, he was also conscious that he would have been unlikely to be nominated for a Wild Card as a Pole and was aware that he needed to be a top 8 rider to qualify for the next year's series. Can recall him saying that on one or more occasions in interviews. -
A good read as always. Particularly enjoyed reading about the Tigers move to Hampden and how close they were to moving to Cathkin Park.

Yes, I saw him ride when the Lions visited Dudley Wood in 1969. He only got 1 point from 3 rides. but an average of 4.88 in his debut season suggests he would have been a bigger success if he'd returned to these shores. Best remembered I suppose as a member of that 1969 Leicester line up that were all ever presents in the British League.

I was there! August 1975. Cradley did it with just 6 riders as well as Sandor Levai withdrew following a first heat fall.
