Ah! Another name from the past. :approve:

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. :wink:

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...

Does he still look like Jason King from Department S?

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. :(

Great rider Norman I remember him flying round Hackney then fleeing off to West Ham to escape the "illegal" Provincial League.
