Eric Boocock walking out of a British Final. Angy at being excluded on TV evidence. Think 74 but not sure.

Visit the following two regularly. Informative and bring back so many memories. And I always look forward to Ove Fundin's quarterly letter on his website. http://www.speedwayresearcher.org.uk/ http://www.defunctspeedway.co.uk/index.htm

Oops, quite right Chunky. Brain cell going faster than hair.

If memory serves me right(??). Exclusions re-introduced in 69. In 67 & 68 riders were only fined. Thats the reason for so many re-runs in your magazine.
-
McGillivaray retired at the end of the 69 season, having never missed a british league match!!
-
Maurie rode for Oxford in 67 25matches @ ave 4.22, this I believe was his last season. Seem to recall he also rode in 66. Just in case anyone may be interested his home ave was 5.42 away 2.34.

What about Olle Nygren, 10 that I can think of Bristol, Harringey, New Cross, Southampton, Swindon, Norwich, Wimbledon, West Ham, Ipswich, King's Lynn & Coventry. Sorry thats 11.

When or where can we get game(s), sounds as if this could be a cracker!!

Recall Ivan's leathers in the early 70's being a bit of a mishmash of styles and colours. Remember reading an interview with him at the time, his daughter designed them. Probably explains a lot.
-
Bob Kilby plus 1 other whose name seems to evade me.
-
I believe Jimmy Mac was one of the first with a sponsor on leathers. Smiths crisp I seem to remember.
-
Olle's leathers Red/White halves, when with West Ham (70 if I recall correctly)
-
The abiding memory I have of Sverre is in 1967 @ Plough Lane. Heat 7 of league match, he fenced Olle Nygren at finish line (to be accurate he booted him into the fence). Seem to recall he was excluded & West Ham went on strike

Further to Kevin Hammonds post, i note on the excellent site http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/intspeedway/index.htm that there was an international challenge series held in 1964 on PL tracks between England, Overseas, Scotland and Wales. Scotland included Les McGillivaray Howdy Byford (surely a cockney) Geoff Penniket Vic White Wales included Jon Erskine Pete Vandenberg (Dutch/Australian??) Alby Golden Norman Strachan (pronounced strawn) Is this another case of promoters "artistic" license or were all these actually those nationalities????? I'm sure all you clever clogs will know
