Ah those were the days!

15-75 for the good guys 

Sat 13 July 1985: 1.9 billion people world wide watched Live Aid. I was at Hyde Rd watching Wolves lose 49-29 to Belle Vue!  Speedway Meetings were also staged that night at: Coventry, King's Lynn, Swindon, Berwick & Canterbury. Cradley 'Spoons' v Oxford was rained off. Not sure if it was strategic!!!

He isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I love him and he’ll always be my favourite speedway rider.   Charisma, personality to burn, controversial, outspoken…everything speedway needs and is sadly lacking in the Grand Prix at the moment. His absence in the current series is a huge void they will struggle to fill.   Most important of all though, he was bloody quick on a speedway bike and is our greatest ever rider.    While I’m gutted I’ll never see him race again, I’m happy he has retired safe and sound and on his own terms. His body has cried enough and he at least seems at peace with his decision.    He can now spend time with his wonderful family and make a name for himself on the DJ scene.    Thanks for the memories Tai, we’re going to miss you. ❤️

Criminally underused as top publicity for our beleaguered sport when he was at the height of his powers. Brilliant career. Even better fuc*in dj…😁

Wasn't it that Alan Trump geezer who spent it on his other projects?
