Canadian Star 6 Posted June 20, 2004 Anyone know of the whereabouts of "The Prince Of Prose" former Kings Lynn, Leicester and Peterborough promoter Martin Rogers. Last i heard he had dissapeared down under and gone back to his former work as a journalist. Any one able to update me ? I was very surprised at his decision to leave this country and even more surprised, given his enthusiasm for speedway racing, that he appears to have severed his links with the sport.

BrizHeathen 37 Posted June 20, 2004 Martin Rogers now resides on Australia's Gold Coast. Last I heard he was sports editor of the Gold Coast Bulletin daily newspaper and gave speedway regular coverage. I've seen him at Labrador Speedway regularly over the years and was giving away signed copies of his book last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arnieg 3,644 Posted June 22, 2004 Indeed he is. Martin Rogers jnr writes for the Mirror. That makes me feel old - I remember MR junior riding up and down behind the main stand at Leicester on his tricycle before the meeting pretending to be Les Collins (or maybe it was Neil or Mark Courtney) - must have been about five Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fireblade 0 Posted June 22, 2004 I hope he stays in Australia as well. One of the worst promoters ever. And he owes me a few quid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
