Gatwick Rocket 53 Posted May 16, 2008 Great bloke, good Speedway rider, Team Captain, team rider, he had the art of getting to the front and then slowing the racing down to get his partner through. Martin Goodwin said when he was at Arena Essex Bob Humphreys taught him how to win races without going fast. Yes, this brought back memories - we loved watching him at Arena in 1984 and 1985 and they used to play "I wanna be .. Bobby's girl" when he won races. One of the best meetings we saw there in 1985 was when Arena beat Ellesmere Port 40-38 and that was all thanks to Bob gating and then holding up the Gunners for Martin Goodwin to come through for the 5-1.

Concrete Cowboy 0 Posted May 26, 2008 Always remember him being a difficult opponent, for Milton Keynes(did he not ride in their first season also?) Indeed, he was brought in 2/3rd of the way through the 1978 season in front of the Anglia tv cameras and scored a maximum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arnieg 3,643 Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) Bob was at Smallmead last night. He's over here for a month, and hopes to get along to Kings Lynn sometime. (He was surprised to discover that they no longer ride on Saturday's) He doesn't see much speedway these days (he didn't seem to be a great fan of Pinjar Park). He talked a bit about his road racing and seemed quite animated when the talk turned to moto-GP and superbikes. We chatted a bit about his Racers days (and Milton Keynes) - I had to remind him he was the first ever rider to card a maximum at Smallmead (and the first with Bernie Leigh to record a 5-1) Edited July 22, 2008 by arnieg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

star ghost 7 Posted September 24, 2008 That is good to hear .... Eddie is still with us .... how he used to try his last bend dash, even if all seemed lost, I used to think he could have made the effort earlier, when he was with Kings Lynn Stars. Does he ever have to make a "time gents please" dash to the bar at 11pm nowadays I wonder ?????????? or has he got like me and avoid dashing to the bar at any time, you know what it means when you are an old pensioner and todays prices bite hard into your few quid a week.
