ianmartin 7 Posted September 26, 2008 Perhaps there could be a piece on the CHARACTERS/HARD MEN of Speedway. Jack Millen, Tony Childs, Frank Auffret - there must have been loads over the years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardJTyrrell 0 Posted September 30, 2008 There is news on the Official Oxford website that Arne Pander is staying in an old folks home in Kings Lynn. I know that he rode in an earlier era than is covered by Backtrack but an article on him in one of the excellant magazines would be long overdue. Ronnie Genz is another who springs to mind. I still have a scrap book with the Oxford Mail cutting in it headlined 'Genz beats the world champion' when he beat Ove Fundin at Cowley one night.

jonesy 4 Posted November 10, 2008 Has George Major been mentioned? He spent some time with Doncaster in 1970 and Birmingham after that so although he had a lengthy career before the 1970's he would still fit the timeframe. He was a top rider and is my first Speedway memory from the first meeting i went to in my home town of Doncaster aged 12! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
