Oh dear so sad to read this. Bob was my first ever speedway hero when as a Comet in 1970 he used to thrill the large Derwent Park crowds with his overtaking skill. RIP Bob forever remembered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS50 Posted Tuesday at 04:43 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 04:43 PM Great rider. Started speedway relatively late, but came through Sheffield second team, to be a top heat leader in the top division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salty Posted Tuesday at 06:04 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 06:04 PM Very fondly remembered by Cradley fans as well. Spent his final British season at Dudley Wood in 1977 and was a very popular and successful cog in the first Dan McCormick team.

martinmauger Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) Always very sad when speedway loses one, a wee bit before my time but a very under-rated rider. RIP Bob.... Edited 3 hours ago by martinmauger spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
