Sadly never fullfilled his true potential.

Keep this thread going lads!

That's "foxed" me! Trying to work out the body colour looking for a clue?

I recall my arms ached like nobody's when I once had a go!

Am I right that Anders Michanek appeared in one series?

Blimey...I remember that!

....funny if I had written this the trawling "troll" would be on my case!

During his time as Team Manager he once questioned Kenny Carter's commitment/team spirit to the team which annoyed then promoter Eric Boothroyd. Dennis quit during that winter (1983) to concentrate on his garage businees.

Much of Oxford City Centre is ownd by the various colleges which has caused issues with some businesses my favourite Model Shop "Howes" being one which re-located to Kidlington some years ago now.

As a matter of interest is the "crooked house" that was opposite the entrance of Cradley Stadium still there?

If that's the anticpated scoreline then no.

Another good one in prospect...the glory days appear to be back at Cowley.

Yes if I recall he had been signed by Cradley (who ran the show at Cowley at the time) and loaned out to the "Cheetahs" and as you say it was short-lived...he did ride in a second half or two at Cowley if I remember?

Remember when Arnie had a short spell riding for the "Cheetahs" towards the very back end of his career. A real character by all accounts.

I'd be interested to know who sponsored Arnie?

Another one gone. RIP

Another good win!

Good to see you again Sid!

Apparently a thatched restuarant in Harome not far from where I live was set alight when the landlord evicted a customer from the pub who insisted on smoking and he threw his cigarette butt onto the thatch...anarchy rules!

That's a shame. Says something really.

Good one...that's a Dutchman "ticked off".

It's all looking good for the "Cheetahs"...I wish them luck in the play-offs.

Good call!

I was thinking Robbie Blackadder...of course some riders used to "double-up" with their sister club.

It's not an issue as far as I'm concerned...it's always interesting how any particular thread develops as that's how public forums work.
