Ben Fund organisers are you reading - people like Ricky is what this fund is about I'm sure the fans would love to see him do a lap at Leicester, on a tandem or on the tractor, as much as us fans would love to see him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ricky will always be a hero at Sheffield Tigers and the other clubs he raced for. What is also amazing is a Speedway related item on main stream BBC One. I read something about this and Ricky in the Speedway Star a few weeks ago. I can only think the BBC must have picked it up from SS...so well done whoever did this at the SS or the BSPA press office.

Steve at Belle Vue helped sort it along with David and Chris who have a good relationship with the the nearby velodrome. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
