Mimmo 1,070 Posted July 25, 2008 you maybe right but peter lipscombe seemed fairly certain but we all make mistakes Gerry's dad WAS Jack Jackson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron Butler 0 Posted July 25, 2008 I thought Gerry started in Speedway at Rayleigh Weir stadium. He had some great matches for Wimbledon where he was used as a second string to the Bob Andrews, Cyril Brine, Ron How & Ronnie Moore line-up. Gerry and Cyril Maidment made the team a really strong outfit What a team that was! Not a rider amongst them. Why? simply because they were all racers. I always looked forward to the Dons' visits to Hyde Road. Let's not forget, though, another Wimbledon super-racer; the canny Norman Parker. Back then we didn't have speedway; we had speedway racing and all that it entailed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norbold 7,135 Posted July 25, 2008 Let's not forget, though, another Wimbledon super-racer; the canny Norman Parker. Yes, a great rider. Anyone who is named after him should consider themselves very fortunate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedyguy 20 Posted July 25, 2008 you maybe right but peter lipscombe seemed fairly certain but we all make mistakes Positively side with those who say that Gerry Jackson's father was the old Wembley rider Jack Jackson. No doubt at all in mind about this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He used to have a brush cut in them days. Now we are the old guys Bob! Will you be coming to Paris Spedway this year? .....They hope to hve practices this year so I should get you kittted out and on a bike again! Tiger Tom Yes he did have a brush cut. I used to be a junior for Fulham and I was running some laps around the Aboyne park soccer pitches (off Garrat Lane) when Gerry, Cyril Maidment and a few other riders showed up for a kick around. They invited me to join in which was great as I was a Wimbledon fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
