mikebv Posted Friday at 06:20 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 06:20 PM Very sad news .. His photo of Hans Nielsen doing a wheelie, whilst Mike lay on his back on the track, so took it from "underneath" Hans, was an amazing photo... RIP....

HGould Posted Saturday at 06:24 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 06:24 AM It was a measure of his excellence at his trade and his wonderfully crafted image that he was as much a star and as much an attraction as the great riders of the great era (mid 70's to mid 80's when Speedway WAS one of the top 3-4 Sports in terms of attendence and Main Stream Media profile). If you went to a Meeting, often with packed terraces at the old Perry Barr, Dudley Wood , Monmore green, Brandon etc , the minute MP appeared on the Track there would be an audible buzz "Mike Patrick's here"...he was that well known and recognisable and it added a sort of weird kudos to the Meeting, especially if it was a standard League Fixture. One of if not the best at what he did. It is frankly I am disappointed to say that his passing has not been reflected and commented on by more.

Hilly Posted Saturday at 11:00 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 11:00 AM There was time when I was younger when I thought every single speedway photo must have been taken by Mike. RIP Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
