Gemini 4,894 Posted July 31, 2004 Ah! Another name from the past. I don't know what he is doing now but several years ago he was in to Bouncy Castles and came to erect one in my son's garden for my grand-daughter's birthday party. Needless to say we recognised him and the conversation naturally got round to Speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norbold 7,176 Posted August 1, 2004 I recognised him one night in the pub in 1965. It was just after we'd lost at Hackney. He wasn't too bouncy that night... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,365 Posted August 1, 2004 Does he still look like Jason King from Department S? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beowulf 1,513 Posted August 2, 2004 One of my favourite riders. He was riding superbly then unfortunately had a very bad crash (1969). He was going to the top that year, but the terrible crash virtually finished his career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian H 0 Posted August 4, 2004 Great rider Norman I remember him flying round Hackney then fleeing off to West Ham to escape the "illegal" Provincial League. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
