norbold 7,169 Posted December 1, 2007 Why do I seem to have one Speedway Star missing from each year??? No, that's not the question I need help with... This time, it's riders, no.of rides, points, bonus points for New Cross riders in the match against Stoke at home on 9 July 1963. The results would be in the July 20th edition of Speedway Star & News. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOBBATH 467 Posted December 1, 2007 Worth remembering is that Jim Squibb was already 42 years old!!Anyone know if Geoff Penniket is still alive and where he is-he was one tough guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedyguy 20 Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) Worth remembering is that Jim Squibb was already 42 years old!!Anyone know if Geoff Penniket is still alive and where he is-he was one tough guy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Geoff Pymar died some years ago. I remember a meeting at New Cross in 1946 when I wheeled his bike from his car to the pits gate, then did the same thing for his team-mate the South African Keith Harvey. I think I was paid sixpence. But this was early in 1946 and sixpence was not an unreasonable sum for about four or five minutes effort. http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/oldtimespeedway Edited December 2, 2007 by speedyguy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speedyguy 20 Posted December 2, 2007 Thanks, andout. That's brilliant and much appreciated. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The name of Sharpe - was it Ron Sharpe? He was a New Cross junior in 1952-53, then had a spell in the Southern Area League with California. Sharpe was a protege of the former Wimbledon, West Ham, Southampton and Liverpool leg-trail rider George Bason. http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/oldtimespeedway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norbold 7,169 Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) Just one question, andout. Was that Reg Reeves or Eddie Reeves? I think it must have been Eddie as I believe Reg was injured at about that time, wasn't he? Edit: Just seen your post, iris. Oh dear, that doesn't help! Further edit: The match score was New Cross 35 Stoke 43, which is what andout's adds up to. Your programme, iris, comes out at New Cross 37 Stoke 41. So, I'll go along with andout's!
