Parsloes 1928 nearly 495 Posted December 12, 2006 Thomas 6(4),Broadbanks 9(4),Morton 8 (4),Plech 6(4) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Of course that should read Broadbank... Mind you, the superfluous 's' is apparently on all seven of the FIM World Final medals he gained.. You'd have thought after the first one he'd have corrected them; but then I guess Broady wasn't one to make a fuss!!?? I asked on a previous thread (in connection with his year at Crayford in '76..) was/is Mike the rider with the most World Final appearances to have ridden in the 'Second Division'..?? With seven appearances he must be in contention..??!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norbold 7,145 Posted December 13, 2006 Broady rode throughout his career as Broadbanks. I asked him once why this was. He said that that was how it was printed in the first meeting he rode in at Rye House and he didn't bother to correct it and it just carried on from there. Just think, Malcom Simmonds might have been a World Championship runner up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parsloes 1928 nearly 495 Posted December 13, 2006 Broady rode throughout his career as Broadbanks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually he did make an effort to ditch the 's' when he reached the pinnacle of any rider's ambition..: a heat-leader role with Crayford...!!!

norbold 7,145 Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) Ivan Mauger rode in the Provincial League in 1963 and 1964. I believe he rode in 14 finals and won a fair few! Edited December 13, 2006 by norbold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking more of riders returning or dropping down to the 'second division'..!! Ken McKinlay certainly outdoes Mike Broadbank in that respect...! But with Scunthorpe able to gain one-up on a Kentish club here (and remembering the bashings the current Scunny incarnation gave to Sittingbourne this past season.. ): gives me a chance to strike back for Kentish pride by recalling these two results..: 17/7/79 Crayford 60 Scunthorpe 18 (NL) and 18/8/81 Crayford 60 Scunthorpe 18 (NL) Happy days!!!!!
