[Grachan 7,364]

Not sure, but I have a feeling John Cook rode in a WF at Bradford.

Cooky rode in the Bradford final of '85

 

Boogaloo must rank highly amongst those that never made the big night.

 

Norman Hunter and Garry Middleton.

Did Dag Lovaas ever reach a World Final? I don't think he did, which would make him a top contender. He was real quality at Oxford.

I hope I've spelt his name right, Ovinyyd Berg, a very good Norweigian Rider.

His name was spelt Oyvind Berg. He was brought over from Norway by Ian Hoskins in the 60s to ride for the Edinburgh Monarchs eventually to join up with Bernt Persson and Reidar Eide in the Edinburgh side. Boy, did these guys improve from raw talent to world beaters.

Bo Petersen must be worth a shout. He could beat anyone on his day around The Wick and proved himself at international level for Denmark, too.

Yes,Bo Petersen scored 9pts at Gothenburg in the 1984 final.

Ther is one particular US rider who had a very high profile that no-one has mentioned.

Are we talking about the same Bo Petersen ?
