Bryn 413 Posted January 5, 2008 I'm given to understand that the legendary Split Waterman is currently in the UK at the tender age of 84 - sheesh how time marches on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tim Templeton 43 Posted January 5, 2008 I spoke to Split briefly today, to thank him for autographing a Harringay race jacket for me, that was taken to Split's home in Spain, and then brought back by # Name Removed # for me. Wonderful!! Tim Templeton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wonderful!! Tim Templeton. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Split was a popular rider with fans from most clubs. A great rider and equally great personality.I was fortunate to see him ride a few times in the 50's at Odsal. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crouch 0 Posted January 6, 2008 I still keep in regular touch with Split, and in spite of a few heart attacks and various other minor ailments, the old Warhorse is still in pretty good shape. He signed and dated the Harringay Race Jacket for Tim in November 2007 when I visited him in Spain. That is exactly 60 years after his debut Season at Wembley As you say Bryn - time marches on.
