The Third Man

Ricky Ashworth 2002 to 2011 one club man until he was forced out

One of best, if not the beast, rider i have seen ride for Sheffield, left the sport far too early

Not sure any of them knew what was happeninmg on the last bend to be honest, but if branford meant to get garrity to the front it was a marvelous ride, still not sure he meant it. Dont think i have ever seen a race where three riders changed position on virtually the last bend though

stan stevens, and alan sage i think rode again after

happy to be of help

wyer replaced wilson in heat 7 heat finished 3 all wyer got 5 paid 7 from 4 3 1+1 0 1+1 wilson 1 from 2 0 1 replaced hope that helps, any more info let me know

true sorry, bought a house off the company i worked for about 20 years ago,

Hereward Pike from sheffield i think

Sheffield, not one of our better signings

Guy rode for sheffield 68 / 69 and doncater in 69

As far as iknow bob paulson only had one league team, sheffield as did bengt larsson

could the sheffield one be dave baugh?

anybody mentioned doncaster, a retail park is built on the former site, just off york road.

Hyde Road then halifax sheffield, leicester, cradley and KL in the 70s / 80s in no particular order wembly in 81 was very good as well

i believe phil white is a commercial pilot, quite frightening with the number of engine failures he used to have

or even a cardiff based event where the world championship was up for grabs

coatbridge in 68 & 69 wasnt it?

in the sheffield pics, the unknown is bent larsson, i think and the two riders against wimbledon are larsson and haley great pics

Airey, the best rider to ride for sheffield

rode for doncaster on loan from sheffield also rode in 1970 for sheffield tiger cubs in a number of challenge matches when the bspa wouldnt let sheffield put out a second team

dont remember a steve collins at sheffield ever, definatly not in 1971 Do you mean steven collins the fourth collins brother

If its wombwell rather than barnsley i think they were known as the colliers

There was meeting afeter the final in Norden in 83 which i went to. as far as i can remember the pitch was untouched

Well couldnt care less about all the people on here who think they know the truth about bob, and certainly couldnt be botherd about whether he was gay or not. what i remember most about him was his riding for sheffield, some great rides come to mind, beating ivan mauger at sheffield arount 72 or 73 and beating eric boothroyd and eric boocock at halifax in 1968 in heat 13 with his back wheel on fence for all four laps to get sheffield a 39-39 draw. That and his captaincy of the 74 team which i believe is still the only team to have won every leg home and away in a cup competion so lets forget the was he or wasnt he gay and remember him as agreat servant of sheffield who would always chat with supporters and sign autographs. RIP Bob one of the best captains sheffield has ever had, if not the best

sad about the county ground, but good to see another owls fan on the forum, couldnt get much further apart than you and king jamie either. heres hoping for another victory tonight at west brom
