Canterbury v Boston(BL2) Does anyone have the heat details as i have the blank programme. Interesting names in the second half were Norman Capstick, Steve Davies, Dave Perry and Neville Brice anyone remember them?
Nigel was killed about 6 or 7 years ago although im sure somebody has the exact date. John Hooper has been seen watching Whitstable Town in the Kent League as his son is playing for the Under 18 side.Another rider i remember that nobody has mentioned is Garry May who also had a spell with Weymouth.
Nigel Sparshott went on to have a good speedway career with numerous clubs before sadly being killed in a car accident. Ian Fletcher had brief spells with Canterbury and Eastbourne. Whatever happened to riders who appeared in more appearances ie Les 'Red' Ott, Richard Davey, JOhn Hooper but were never the highest of scorers.

If my memory serves me right he had second halves at Canterbury and Crayford without making the first bend Proves that you can make it after the first bend
