mikebv Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGould Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 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.
