Split Posted yesterday at 01:38 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 01:38 PM (edited) Chris Julian (far left) rode for Plymouth back in the 60's together with his namesake Chris Blewett (third from right). They were both West Country lads although Blewett was born in Canada. They were known as fierce rivals but apparently it was all show and behind the scenes they were good mates.

salty Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago My first ever Speedway meeting as a 6 year old was Cradley v Newport in September 1968. A damp, exciting spectacle under the lights, I was smitten straight away and my favourite rider from night one was Chris Julian. The programme shows paid 9 from 3 completed rides and an exclusion, I can remember he was involved in some typical Julian escapades during the evening. Sadly his career as a Heathen only lasted one more home meeting for me as when we came to the tapes in 1969 he was no longer a Heathen, but a Wasp. Still maintained a soft spot for him throughout the rest of his career and can remember going to see Newport when they rode at Monmore the following season (a place we would usually only visit when the Heathens were there).
