norbold 7,116 Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) Yesterday I went to the VSRA Norwich Dinner and I met a former Leicester rider. The question is, Gem, who is he: See here And what can you remember about him? Edited October 24, 2005 by norbold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beowulf 1,513 Posted October 24, 2005 Yesterday I went to the VSRA Norwich Dinner and I met a former Leicester rider. The question is, Gem, who is he: See hereAnd what can you remember about him? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well my first question is, which one are you Norman! As to the former rider, it looks like Bert Harkins, but I don't think he ever rode for Leicester. So over to the Leicester experts................ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted October 24, 2005 Strewth! As someone who sat next to Vic White and was showing him my speedway scrapbooks but still didn't know who he was until I got a dig in the ribs from Summit, there is not a cat in hell's chance of me recognising this rider. It doesn't help that I can't recall seeing him at any of the Leicester reunions either so I will have to leave it to the other Leicester experts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norbold 7,116 Posted October 24, 2005 OK, time for some clues... He was also captain of Cradley Heath and rode for Birmingham. He hasn't been to any reunions in the last 20 years! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norbold 7,116 Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) No. While you're thinking about that one, here's another question. Also in my VSRA Eastern Region Gatherings Webshots Album is a photograph of Stan Stevens. Here Behind him are three former riders. Can you name them? I'll admit the middle one is a bit difficult!

norbold 7,116 Posted October 24, 2005 Not Len Read or Harry Bastable. But, it is Olle Nygren to the left of Stan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted October 25, 2005 John Boulger? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not long seen John Boulger so I knew I could rule him out, also Jack Winstanley, Charlie Barsby, John Hart, Norman Storer, Bruce Forrester, Vic White, Keith White, Eric Hockaday, Ray Wilson, Malcolm Brown, Chris Pidcock. So that's the list of who it isn't. Now for the list of who it could be.............. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
