The White Knight Posted December 13, 2024 Report Share Posted December 13, 2024 Jack Millen and Tony Childs had what I would call an aggressive style, coupled with a "thou shalt not pass" attitude. Aye, indeed, those were the days!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, indeed, those were the days!!! Brian Foote had similar characteristics as did Ted Hubbard, hard chargers. Brian always having elbows out and left leg pointing forward going into bends. Fun to watch and both hated being beaten. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Chessell another ex Arena rider was riding for Swindon also and he scored 8 or so as well - i went home very happy!! I can actually remember that match really well. It was one of the few matches that I enjoyed so much that I bought the video. This is from it. Andrew Silver in red. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that I was on the third and forth bend and remember that cutback - it was the sweetest move of all time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted December 22, 2024 Report Share Posted December 22, 2024 Lubos Tomicek had a different style, always looked to me like he was unbalanced and could fall off at any point. Another couple of riders who spring to mind is Barry Thomas and Paul Whittaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
