BOBBATH 467 Posted January 30, 2008 Not boring at all Roddy-I'm always interested in what happened to these guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Hamilton 1 Posted January 30, 2008 Not boring at all Roddy-I'm always interested in what happened to these guys <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bobbath, I know he ha sbeen a technical genius with speedway equipment, but is Alf Hagon still alive? No one ever mentions Alf as a rider, but he was an extremely good rider with both Leicester and Oxford. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
star ghost 7 Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) Yes, I agree with these sort of subjects as well. Regarding Alf Hagon ...... Alf rode for Harringay and Wimbledon during his early days in Speedway and was an adequate second string rider who often picked up surprising scores. He was also a superb rider in the "time trial" Santa Pod events and I think he held quite a few records in that sport. I have not read of his death anywhere but cannot say for certain he is still with us. Edit for info .... www.trakbytes.co.uk has a large entry for Alf covering his lifetime and no mention of his death there either Edited January 30, 2008 by star ghost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOBBATH 467 Posted January 30, 2008 Sure-but don't know the answer re Alf Hagon-recall he wore glasses-bet Martin hagon his son could be contacted by someone tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) Alf Hagon is still alive and kicking. He was mentioned in the Speedway Star a couple of weeks ago. does anyone remember the quiz on radio 1 dead or alive ? that would work really well with speedway . any one out there want to start a game ? I'll give that a miss thanks. It sounds too depressing. Edited January 30, 2008 by Gemini Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norbold 7,116 Posted January 30, 2008 Alf also rode for West Ham in the 60s. He is still alive and well and living in Waltham Abbey (well, not actually in the Abbey if you see what I mean... ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOBBATH 467 Posted January 30, 2008 Norbold-how old do you reckon Alf is-I think he retired in 64 -before the Pl-NL merger right?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobC 664 Posted January 30, 2008 Alf did ride a few meetings for Poole in 1965.I believe he retired after leaving us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOBBATH 467 Posted January 30, 2008 That's right mate-I'd forgotten that-I think he rode in about 3 or 4 BL matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crouch 0 Posted January 31, 2008 What has happened to Tim Bungay ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I saw Tim Bungay at Poole at the very end of last Season, and in fact it was Norman Strachan who brought him up to the Grandstand to meet a few people. Tim didn't remember me (why should he ), but I remember painting a few of his old VW Pick Up Trucks when he was running Wilson and Bungay back in the late 60's and was still riding. I think, like a lot of former Riders, he was surprised that people still hold him in such high esteem. There's a modesty amongst so many Riders, that makes you wonder how they managed to muster up the aggression to have a go in the first place. Crouch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frigbo 518 Posted January 31, 2008 That's right mate-I'd forgotten that-I think he rode in about 3 or 4 BL matches. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Alf rode 4 League matches for Poole and 1 for West Ham in '65 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
