spin king 1,930 Posted December 25, 2003 Tony Briggs was used to advertised Brut after shave. Are you sure? Didn't his non-riding brother Gary appear in a TV ad? No I am absolutely certain ,cause I remember it was such a big sponsorship for such a novice, think he got it because he was such a good looking chappie.

youngy105 16 Posted January 2, 2004 OK, talking of Norwich and 1962...which rider made his debut for Norwich in 1960 scoring nil points from 4 matches, but in 1962 went to Belle Vue with the Stars and scored a 15 point maximum in a league match including two victories over Peter Craven on a night when Fundin scored just 4 points?
