Guest Jim Blanchard Posted August 27, 2004 (edited) Jim, them pics look like 1978, I remember PC having them guards on his handlebars but he didn't have them on long. See what do I know, I thought it was in the 80's I went to White City. I have a lot of PC in Match races with Michael Lee at Lynn and Leicester where PC had those guards on.

miro 9 Posted August 27, 2004 (edited) Soldier Blue,wasn't that a triple x film from the 70's Don't think it was triple x but 'Soldier Blue' was a violent and very bad 'alternative' Western from the early 1970s. From the same time I remember Soldier Boy following Leicester and Ray Wilson in particular. He was interviewed at Oxford in the late 1980s and said he had been based once at the local MOD Bicester depot, so I guess he was an authentic soldier - who knows. Was there not a story that he won the lottery? Edited August 27, 2004 by miro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moxey63 1,785 Posted August 28, 2004 Fifth pic down is PC from '78 (he had gold flames on his leathers in speedway's Golden Jubilee year, not that you can tell in b/w) and the ninth pic down is PC in '79, the year he had covers on his handlebars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jim Blanchard Posted August 28, 2004 Of the White City shots. In the first I can identify #7 Peter Collins, #8 Ivan Mauger, #6 Larry Ross I think. Not sure who #5 is. In the next one #3 one of the Morans, #4 Ole Olsen. The crash ones no idea. Again the bottom one is #3 Moran and #4 Ole Olsen. Does this help indentify the event?

fatface 2,554 Posted August 28, 2004 I'd say most of these pics were from the 1979 Intercontinental at White City. Except no5 is of PC in 1978 (as others have alluded to - cracking shot by the way) and I haven't got a clue about the guy in the last two pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 29, 2004 Soldier Boy turned up in the mid to late 90's at poole for a season and caused the usual mayhem. He sat at the other end of the stand but you could hear him all around the stadium giving the riders greif and the fans nearby ear ache. On occassion though howls of laughter from the stands as he made a wisecrack. I think he retired to live in Northern Ireland, as he hasn't been seen at Poole since those times. I remember another famous fan from the 70's called "The Bugler". Think he supported Ipswich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
