Bunce 347 Posted May 27, 2014 Very sad news. I have fond memories of Simmo's time with us at Kings Lynn. A great rider, and true entertainer. My condolences go to all his family at this very sad time. RIP Simmo, and thanks from all the fans at Kings Lynn Speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
proud panther 1,507 Posted May 27, 2014 My first Speedway hero in 1968 at Kings Lynn. I would get him to sign a photo or programme nearly every week, & he would gladly sign it, even though I must have got on his nerves. RIP Thanks for the memories. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted May 30, 2014 UNBEKNOWN to each other, Tony McDonald, Martin Rogers and I all used the phrase 'silky smooth' in our tributes to Simmo in SS this week. And that's exactly what he was... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy robin 2,963 Posted June 3, 2014 Simmo was often deemed as being outspoken but if only people who run this great sport had listened because he spoke a lot of sense. RIP Simmo & best wishes to all his family. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michanekno1 0 Posted June 5, 2014 Super Simmo must surely be one of the most stylish riders ever to grace UK tracks, man and machine were as one. RIP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammers66 22 Posted June 6, 2014 I will be attending Simmo's funeral this afternoon to pay my respects. Simmo was a family friend and the reason I found speedway. The sun is shining and thoughts are with his wife and family today. RIP Super Simmo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
