auntie doris 2,342 Posted September 26, 2023 Good rider for Wolves late 60s, not so good at Swindon early 70s.. R.I.P. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chunky 6,103 Posted September 27, 2023 You know, I love seeing the comments about James' name "fascinating" people. Oh, I get it, but what very few people realize is that speedway's James Bond came first! Not as a rider, obviously, but he was born in 1938, whereas Ian Fleming didn't create the literary character until 1953... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
