Who Is The Best Pl Number One Ever?

Recommended Posts

Adrian Rymel 2008. he was class even scored 14 at Edinburgh!!!!

 

Why did you leave us Adrian?????? and come back not half the rider

I promise you, If Adrian could ride again, he would. As a bonus though, you get the best Race Suits ever, 'SPEEDWAY ANARCHY' :t::t::t:

From the riders i have watched:

 

Loram

Louis

Galvin

Schofield

Havelock

Silver

Thorp

Stonehewer

Wilson

 

Those mentioning Cook are having a laugh. Wouldnt make the top 20 of best ever premier league number ones. Look at the class of the riders ive listed and where the majority got to on the world stage. Cook isnt even close.

And thats without mentioning the Owens, Lawson , Wilcock, Garrard, Cox, Les Collins, Kennett , Perks. Riders i didnt really see race as was only bout 5 or 6 when they were about.

 

Cook is dominant in an era where the standard is lower than late 80's early 90's so he would not make my top 20

At 2nd tier level it was Joe Owen. No contest. Go and check his 1976 stats.

An argument with Peter Waite over a new van

 

 

Never saw Joe Owen ride, but his stats are superb.

Magnus Zetterstrom... 1 season 9+ Average and 2 seasons 10+ Average, as well winning the Fours and Champions Chase during that time too.

NO HE DID NOT HAVE AN ARGUAMENT WITH PETER WAITE OVER A VAN. :mad:

 

The disagreement was when the new promotion took over when Dave Peat was the manager. Adrian wanted to buy the marroon transit van off the butchers, they did not want to sell it, he went to Workington instead. There were all sorts of rumours New Vans, New engines etc. etc. none of which were true, the deal fell through over a very small amount of money, mainly to do with insurance, tyres and fuel.

In the modern Pl league it has to be Stoney or Wilson,if you take in old National league there is Joe Owen or Tom.

The van in question had been loaned out to riders, he thought it would be better to own it than borrow it, so he simply offered a price.
