Struggling at the moment. Have Jack, Norman, Dennis, Len, and Shane...

Good call...

That's what I had!

Jensen - Finn, Jesper, Mikkel Bech, Michael Jepsen, Rasmus, Steen, Claes... Johansson - Tommy, Uno, Lillebror, Tobias, Stefan, Robert, Jorgen...

I can only think of five, off the top of my head..

Not necessarily to the same strength, but other names that could field teams are: Smith - Pete, Pete, Peter, Alan, Don, Frank, Graeme, Kevin, Scott, Scott, Mike, Andy, Paul... Jackson - Alan, Dave, Dave, John, Peter, Wayne, Rob, Gerry... Brown - Wayne, Allan, Dingle, Malcolm, Tom, Max, Walter... White - Vic, Keith, Colin, Doug, Jon Jon, Phil, George... Wilson - Ray, Reg, Ian, John, Guy, Des, Sean, Steve...

Three world Finalists...

Not unique... The Dugards had Charlie, John, Bob, Eric, Martin, Paul, and Kelsey.

Tommy's dad Joel, and Bengt's brother Lars would be the next two in line, followed by Tommy's brother Bo. Then Jimmy and Kim...

Ray, Garry, James, and Mick for a start...

Eric was 1930's at Wimbledon, and Mark was early 80's at Stoke and Nottingham.

Williams - Fred, Eric, Ian, Peter, John, John J, Keith, Ian (Wimbledon junior)' See above...

Put him in instead of Aiden...

Nope... Get rid of Stephen and Chris, and replace them with Eric and Mark.

He was Zimbabwean...

Sounds to me like you mind's going, Steve! Wot? No Drymls?

Let me check; I may have the prog in the garage...

Oh yes, local competition is one of the things that has killed speedway, along with television, the internet...

Andy's problem, I feel, was his style. He was a grass-tracker - and rode speedway like a grass-tracker. His style suited a track like Exeter, but not most other tracks. Like Andy, we had Alan Farmer, at Wimbledon, and he had the same problem.

Sad news. One of that great touring team from 1964...

The problem is that speedway fans EXPECT everyone to love it the same way we do - yet they constantly come on here posting how crappy it is! Speedway is my favourite sport. It always has been, and while it is very different to the sport I grew up with, it still is my favourite sport. I am not like most speedway fans though; I don't come on here bitching about others who like F1, football, tennis etc. I like F1, and I like football, but like speedway, they are very different sports to the ones I watched as a kid. That doesn't make them boring, and it certainly doesn't make me an idiot for liking them. Look at most of the speedway meetings we watch, and we think to ourselves (and often post it on the BSF), "What a load of crap"! I showed a friend of mine Chris' Harris' winning ride at Cardiff - and he just turned round to me, and said, "Is that supposed to be exciting"? Does that make him stupid or inferior? Of course not. Like when he goes mental over American football, yet it does absolutely nothing for me. Not everybody likes the same things - or appreciates the same things. Look at music. I get sick of people telling me that, "All classical music sounds the same". Really, you think a baroque organ piece sounds like a 20th century flute concerto? I am a huge Tom Waits fan, as I love the emotions he puts me through. Most people though, just don't get him, and are like, "He's crap..." I don't expect EVERYBODY to like speedway, but it surprises me that there aren't more. As has been said on here many times, speedway just isn't "cool' for most people. You could have speedway on terrestrial TV every night of the week, at prime time, and most would turn it straight off. Sad thing is, it could be the best speedway we've ever seen, but if they don't "get it", it does absolutely bugger all. I know that British promoters rarely "promote", but quite honestly, what good would it do? If they could even afford it... As I've said before, everyone thinks they KNOW the answer, but the reality is that they DON'T. There are many reasons why speedway doesn't have the following it used to, but many of the reasons have nothing to do with the sport itself. We can't control everything, and we certainly can't control the way people think...

You know, that is a good looking top ten...

Last time I saw him was when he won the 1975 Laurels...

I thought so too. I was shocked when you came at me the way that you did, and I honestly don't think I have said anything crappy...

Thank you; fixed...
