KevH 257 Posted February 6, 2003 It's quiz time. I've been looking through some old Speedway Stars and found an article on the great man. So much has been said and written about him, and let's be honest if it wasn't for him you wouldn't be reading this now, but does anyone know what the S stands for? I do - answer in a few days - unless someone else knows and allegedly not a lot of people do know this! Have a guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cheetahhawk Posted February 7, 2003 I did know, but old age has taken it's toll and I have temporarily forgotten,but give me a few days and I may have a refreshing of my old brain cells. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IAN2 64 Posted February 7, 2003 It's quiz time. I've been looking through some old Speedway Stars and found an article on the great man. So much has been said and written about him, and let's be honest if it wasn't for him you wouldn't be reading this now, but does anyone know what the S stands for? I do - answer in a few days - unless someone else knows and allegedly not a lot of people do know this! Have a guess. Well I know Kevin as I was at his funeral in Herne Bay and his resting place at Reculver in Kent,but I did not know until that sad day. I was Secretary of the Canterbury Speedway Supporters Club,now defunct and felt it my duty to be present.It was not until the coffin was lowered into the ground that I spotted S---- on the brass plate and solved a great mystery to me,but I won't give the game away as its a good question!

London Witch 57 Posted February 7, 2003 Unofficially I guess its S for Speedway, but I haven't a clue what it really stands for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevH 257 Posted February 8, 2003 Thanks for keeping quiet on this one Ian. OK CH you have a few more days. Anyone else want to have a guess (or does anyone actually know)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted February 8, 2003 Bah! I have just read several pages all about Johnnie Hoskins and it doesn't say! How about Sigmund, Sydney or Showtime? Okay, I am going to go quietly away now. :roll: Where's Norbold - I bet he will know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KevH 257 Posted February 8, 2003 It's good to see a bit of interest developing in this thread - no-one's correct yet, but I can tell you it's not a common name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Sir Lunchalot Posted February 9, 2003 I did see his middle name years and years ago but all I remember was it was unusual. Silas perhaps ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shazzybird 10 Posted February 9, 2003 Should be well ashamed of myself for not knowing this one and it would not be fair to ask one of the rellies! my money is on Raven knowing the answer though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
