I loved the weekend trips to Canterbury and Eastbourne with the workington comets in the 1970s

Arnie was my favourite, great rider

Brilliant

Kelly Moran one of my favorites from California. RIP.

Thankful to have seen him race at Foxhall, RIP Tiger Louis. You are not forgotten.

Fond memories of all these brave hero’s. My own favorites Frank Aufrett and Bernie Persson personified everything about the sport, brave, tenacious, fearless entertainers who were dreadfully underrated and largely ignored by mainstream media and TV, particularly BBC who’d rather give bucket loads of air time to timid boring sports like Tennis and golf.

R.I.P The Tiger.

remember it well, setting fire to Johnnie Hoskins hat!

Shawn rode for Belle Vue and Sheffield I thought he preferred the aces a smaller and tight track he would like Redcar 255 meters .

Am i right in saying his chain snapped and wrapped round his back wheel, what ever happened very tragic .

Fantastic Speedway action I miss it like crazy there's not a day goes by when you don't think about it I saw a video recently about Coventry showing the stadium now its run down , just memories now ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

My boyhood hero. Shooey!!!!🎉

I went to his wedding. Long time ago

I have not seen this video before, too many tracks closed down ,Malcolm Simmons said he thought the 70s was the best time to race I'd go along with that but the 80s were not bad either . ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Fantastyczny materiał. Pamiętam zawodników z tamtych i miałem to szczęście oglądanie Zenona Plecha na torze. Pozdrawiam z Gdańska 🇵🇱👍

I was taken to the reopening meeting in 1964 by my speedway loving father. Took the next few years for granted until I became an irregular visitor for a while until part way into the 1970 season when I properly fell in love with the sport only for sad and tragic events to happen in the final 2 years. Much missed and not to be forgotten 🥺.

I met Eric one evening at Blackbird Road. (Leicester Lions) He was team manager of Bell Vue Aces., at that time. I live in the same village as the late Ivor Brown. R.I.P. Happy days.

🇺🇸 Moran bros 🇺🇸

Hello chris remember me you let me ride an old stripped down scooter on a track you practised on near the girders going out of partington many years ago hope your well pal👍👍👍

For a rider that began his career in the 1950’s Nigel had a really great style of riding

The state of British speedway is so sad😢

❤

Great, Great DVD tragic that the sport has and is losing so many iconic stadiums!

First of all i would like to say i liked the music i will always remember At the shay when the Dukes were against the Hammers Eric Boocock came out of the changing rooms with Ken Mckinley and asked Ken which way did he travel up i remember Tony Clarke also.😊

I never saw speedway at Norwich ,I have been to Kings Lynn ,I saw England v. Australia there,which England won 😊 .

Where's Crayford kestrels speedway?

A LOVELY LAD. MET NIGEL AND ERIC AT THE SYDNEY ROYALE SHOW GROUND EARLY 1960s. THE TEST MATCHES BETWEEN AUSTRALIA v ENGLAND WERE TERRIFIC. VERY HARD TO BEAT THOSE POMMIE BROTHERS. FOR MEMORY I THINK NIGEL MOVED TO AUSTRALIA AFTER HIS SPEEDWAY DAYS HAD FINISHED IN THE U.K. l JUST LOVED THE BOOCOCK BOYS. THANKS FOR THE GOOD TIMES FELLAS. NEVER FORGOTTEN. R.I.P. NIGEL.

It was somuch..fun..fun.fun😊😮😅🎉

Great stuff if only we could turn the clock back I liked Greg Kentwell 😊

although I saw a lot more of Eric than Nigel he was a terrific racer teak tough and brave as a lion you really miss speedway I went to Sheffield about3 seasons ago Peter

King Eric he signed his autograph for me at Halifax I saw Eric and Nigel both score 12 point maximums for England v.Australia at King's Lynn after Eric had is fourth ride I always remember my Dad saying we'll done Eric Peter

Watched Nigel race on many an occasion...

Ole….he was from 1970 - 1978 the greatest. He eased off….just slightly after and why not, he’d nothing left to prove. Happy days. 🚂🚴‍♂️👣🇺🇦

I saw both Michael and Sean riding for the Dukes good team

I am a speedway fan I didn't see Kenny ride for Newcastle but for both Halifax Dukes and Bradford Dukes I miss Speedway and Kenny of course I Saw Alan win that G.P. on his road bike I also Admire Hannah Cockroft Stan Maddy and of course Ed Sheeran all born in Halifax

Great race! I would have been there,

Nigel and Eric Boocock at THE SYDNEY SHOWGROUND in the 60s those were the days up against Jim Airey Bob Sharpe Ivan Mauger to name a few some of the BEST SOLO riding you would ever see John Sherwood the PROMOTER loved those POMMIES great DRAWCARD When the KANGAROOS v THE LIONS in the TEST MATCHES there would be 25000 to 30000 SPEEDWAY FANS at those meetings l was lucky to have been ONE of those people l would go down to THE PITS with my Uncle Geoff after the meeting speak to Nigel and Eric they ALWAYS had time for THE FANS I REALLY MISS THOSE DAYS

I have got to get me one of these!

Looked up my name to see who else had it Wonderful story, from Ian Turner to Ian Turner!

1:18 *Don't forget Norman Hunter a Great Rider and Pal !*

I was there when it was just a dog track then speedway came along and I was lucky enough to mix with the riders in the pits , I well remember Cyril Crane coming in from a race having forgot his face mask he ended up with a broken tooth from being hit by shale .

Jack Young best rider ever.

Sure. Few hull riders sue not arrive?? Beaton / aufrwtt

Ole Olsen - I've always been a very big Fan of him. A real Champion. 🏁 🇩🇰

Remember, seeing Michael in the second half at Kings Lynn, and you could tell he was always gonna be a great racer and he was one of the best ever to ride at saddlebow Road

Gordon so brave and Kelly 18 years old in conditions he was not used to, both riding absolutely superbly.

so many tracks gone forever,.....good to know Oxford were revived hope they get the support they deserve, and be good if other Venues copied them. but unlikely

Nobody could pass inside like Gordon …just a few inches from the white line was all he needed. Barry Briggs thought Gordon was the best at this art. Such a thrill to see him swooping from the fence at White City to squeeze inside past the world’s best riders ! Ron Johnson (from 1946) and Gordon always my two favourite riders. Thanks for the memories, Gordon and my sympathy to your family and friends. John Warner

I was there...the whole england team had a nightmare of a day.....john Davis who john berry overlooked in favour of malcom simmons turned up the very next night in again very wet conditions and smashed out a maximum as if to say F*** you!.....RIP gorden great rider
