asturmer 0 Posted January 17, 2007 Barney Kennett of Canterbury Crusaders in the70,s and 80,s for his spectacular inside line, and ability to turn right on unsuspecting riders pitching them over the boards and not being excluded by the Ref. Also his punch ups with many other National League riders of that era. When Barney appeared in the parade lap you were guaranteed a fun night on the track!! Seeing as Backtrack often do features on the lesser known riders maybe an interview with my Uncle...Alan Armstrong. Alan rode for Middlesbrough, Castleford and Workington amongst others during the late 70's, early 80's. He was in the Workington that featured in the (in)famous drubbing at Crayford. If anyone needs contact details for him please let me know. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatface 2,554 Posted January 18, 2007 Phil Collins - great to watch, left behind his career when still a top rider for a new life in California Zenon Plech - a god to thousands of Poles and to a few thousand in East London too Dennis Sigalos - very classy rider, one of the best never to win the world title Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Highlander 0 Posted January 23, 2007 Would love to see a piece on Mark and Sean Courtney. I'm sure Mark in particular would have a tale to tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure Mark in particular would have a tale to tell. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It certainly would, as I don't think he has been totally lillywhite, I think that he was a rider who did waste the talent that he had, lets hope that his sons learn from his lesson.

Tigerblade 221 Posted May 20, 2007 Spin King, what about an interview with Mark Fiora, Bent Larsson, Rod Haynes or Craig Pendlebury ?!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mark Fiora was featured a few magazines ago. Is Craig Pendlebury still in New Zealand? Not that that is a barrier to being interviewed, I'm just curious!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shazzybird 10 Posted May 20, 2007 What about a team where are they now ie League Champions 1978 Canterbury <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maurice Morley did wonders for the team morale after losing Graham Banks in June of this year. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. The 1978 team were a very close team they needed the league win to boost them. TMC ..............
