  1. Just stick it on the peak rather than the helmet itself. Sorted.
  2. I'll raise you Simon Wigg, Steve Schofield, Simon Cross, Jem Doncaster, Mark Loram, Kelvin Tatum and Joe Screen, all Britsh grasstrack champions as well as GB speedway internationals.
  3. Yes. One of the matches was scheduled for Southampton.
  4. Why not the latter two? I know original member states were allowed to opt out, hence the UK situation, but thought all new members had to be included.
  5. No is isn't. As mickthemuppet stated, the 2 Open meetings were in 1932 and the 4 away meetings in 1969.
  6. In the early years, some tracks ran twice a week so this number was not unusual back then.
  7. Neither do I. Maybe it's morbid curiosity?
  8. Not sure if it was the 70's or 80's but I seem to remember John Davis riding in the German league.
  9. If the latter, then it'll be out next year
  10. I too was neutral about him for a long while but his renaissance has been remarkable. His current achievements already make him an all-time great. To think that there is realistically more to come at his age is staggering.
  11. And he helped White City win the league in 1977 without even turning a wheel.
  12. And, rather bizarrely, at the age of 33, once represented Young England in an international match!
  13. I'd put Phil Morris in at 5 and Graham Drury in at 8.
  14. H&S had nothing to do with the reduction in the use of castor oils. It just that better options appeared be they mineral or synthetic.
  15. I agree with that last point which is too often overlooked. Had this question arisen before 2010, I would have answered Tomasz Gollob. Now, I would say Plechanov.
  16. USA rider Dave DeTemple had a false right leg.
  17. That wasn't a meeting as such, more a celebration so doesn't count! BTW, I've seen that pic of you at HB in 1960 and there wasn't a viable track in place then either. When was the last actual race meeting staged there?
  18. At this rate, he'll not be able to be employed anywhere and will end up on benefits. Unless some do-gooder starts a new campaign to stop 'his sort' claiming them too. Where will it end?
