Mauger_Magic 17 Posted March 27, 2005 Many moons ago it was said that George whilst in the Tyneside area, went down to Whitley Bay, which was a sppedway venue then, and did a few circuits. The exact site of the speedway track, which is still visible in parts, is at the Rockliffe Rugby Union Club ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Celticman 21 Posted December 30, 2019 Formby, like Vera Lynn, did a lot of traveling in WW2 to entertain the troops. As a kid I remember his song "Leaning on the lamppost" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
