Rebel1 72 Posted February 24, 2013 Good to see that PK and Davy are having a run-out in the Freddie Lindgren testimonial. The track is similar to Arena and will be interesting to see how they fare against a very strong line-up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davey has had some good meetings too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E I Addio 15,845 Posted February 25, 2013 PK can beat anyone at Monmore as its his spiritual home. Last years 8.68 average says he has two spiritual homes now and two sets of fans that love him. Its an absolute privilege to have such a great sportsman(in every sense of the word) in the team. With regard to Fred's testimonial and with due respect to the riders concerned I think the name of the game will be to put on a show and raise a decent wedge for Fred without doing anything silly before the season starts in earnest so I wouldn't read too much into the result. Best wishes to all riders for a good meeting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its an absolute privilege to have such a great sportsman(in every sense of the word) in the team. Make that three sets of fans. He was well respected and made lots of friends among the red and black faithful in his stints at the Showground. I'd say he is still the most popular visiting rider there now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beowulf 1,513 Posted February 25, 2013 Very pleasing to read these comments about PK. He is an all-time Wolves legend. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saying that you always get 110% from PK - it is no wonder he is well respected by fans through-out the UK and other teams he has ridden for. The man is still a class act - yet you still get the yearly insults by some calling him `old man` and past his best. He remains a top rider in the UK, and it is so good to see positives about the Wolves legend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fourentee 987 Posted February 26, 2013 you still get the yearly insults by some calling him `old man` and past his best. I've always regarded the 'old man' comments as admiring rather than otherwise. 'The old man continues to show the youngsters' -- that kind of thing. Tremendous rider and top bloke. Great deadpan sense of humour, too, topped off with that Sweden-meets-Gornal accent.

FAST GATER 853 Posted February 26, 2013 Make the most of him the clock is ticking I really don't think you will see the the likes of him again ,riding at the top level and holding his own in his mid forties.He is a credit to the sport and I hope he has another season or so in him and I wish him an injury free 2013 and hope he scores shed load of points.

cityrebel 2,960 Posted February 26, 2013 PK has always been one of my favourite riders of the modern era. being a lakeside regular, it was a privilege to watch him ride for the hammers last season and more of the same in 2013! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,096 Posted February 26, 2013 PK has always been one of my favourite riders of the modern era. being a lakeside regular, it was a privilege to watch him ride for the hammers last season and more of the same in 2013! Totally agree with that as well as being one of the fairest, cleanest riders and a really nice guy, a true gentleman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,824 Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) I've always regarded the 'old man' comments as admiring rather than otherwise. 'The old man continues to show the youngsters' -- that kind of thing. Tremendous rider and top bloke. Great deadpan sense of humour, too, topped off with that Sweden-meets-Gornal accent. In that context yes Fourentee, but when it is followed by past his best, not a number one etc then it becomes a derogatory. Thankfully his usual knockers have been quiet this season because, lets face it, the black and gold legend is STILL doing the business! Ah, so that is the dialect , i couldn't quite place it.
