I went to Central Tech just before and just after the move to Gleadless. Old Herbert was Head then. I used to be in awe of John Henry Hunter who had eyes in the back of his head and nobody talked when he left the room! Tom M

Kath I am a fan of the tigers since 62... I think the 60's was the best time to watch speedway. I miss the old tracks such as Belle Vue and Halifax. Tom M Canada Ex Pat

I have been a fan of the tigers since 62...I even tried the sport circa 1970 and knew the Sheldrakes to a degree as they were riding at that time. Sid was beter than his younger brother Mick but both rode at Paisley I believe. Sid was captain. I have often wondered what happened to those guys who were trying to get into speedway the same time as I was. I have spoken to some but not many. Any novices from 69-70 who remember me please send me an E MAil. Tom Marriott E mail tmariott@sympatico.ca I'm in Canada now and took up speedway here at the idiotic age of 45!...now 53 I still ride and have three older bikes. I guess you can't get that smell of burning castrol R out of your system!!!
