norbold 7,135 Posted March 11, 2013 Agree - after the top three I think there is a group of riders (likes of Williams, Parker, Loram etc) who would likely rank above the likes of Carter/Jessup etc. Thank you. How could I have forgotten Jack Parker? Doh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RonButler 33 Posted March 15, 2013 Was going through my books and programmes,and out of the four nations i picked England,New Zealand,Sweden,Usa are these the top five in some peoples opinion?England 1.Craven 2.Lee 3.Collins 4.Farndon 5.Parker New Zealand. 1.Briggs 2.Moore 3.Mauger 4.Shirra 5.Ross Sweden 1.Fundin 2.Michanek 3.Rickardsson 4.Knutsson 5.T.Jansson Usa 1.Penhall 2.Hancock 3.Milne 4.Autrey 5.Ermolenko. There were two Parkers. The brothers Jack [belle Vue] and Norman [Wimbledon]. Both were outstanding competitors at club and international level. They unsderstood and appreciated each others style to the extent that I thought it worth double the admission cost when they were pitted against each other at either Hyde Road or Wimbledon. Those were the days when the sport, now known simply as speedway, called speedway racing and lived up to that name. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
