Speedway Photographs

Thanks to @robsonracing for his time. Listen to the most recent episode of my podcast: Stuart Robson Memories of Coventry Bees anchor.fm/martin-coleman…

@Risoco007 Great times, no doubt 😎

@Speedway_Photos Loved watching that Lynn side.

Always colourful, King's Lynn v Coventry 😎

@mdonaldson1957 I'm not disagreeing with you. Nicki's always been a nightmare... But I've always asked, who actually got hurt by him ?? I can write a long list of riders injured by Hans Andersen, or a longer list that's down to Niels Kristian Iversen ! Bit weird really...

@Speedway_Photos This happened at Piraterna Motala, last heat of the day. Pirates won the match easily. Niki purposely took out Greg with a move that he intended to really hurt Greg, like a long term injury. Any Rider would have done what Greg did after a moved like that against him.

Right now, I'm in the middle of nowhere. Out on a bike ride. And I'm a little bit drunk, to be honest. And what I could REALLY do with, right now...is a hug. Even if it's a high speed one, like this 😋

@PaulCWoolnough Well, we can definitely forgive him that one 😊

@PaulCWoolnough Shall we call it forceful rather than dirty 😁 I mean, as a Coventry fan, I loved having Peter Ravn in our team. He was another arsehole. Sorry, he was also forceful...but you always knew that if he was off Gate 3, then Gate 4 was going in the fence 😋

More faces to recognise, more names and times you might remember... It's team photo time

🇩🇪 Egon Müller leads 🇩🇰 Ole Olsen. Out wide is the Russian Mikhail Starostin. 🇬🇧 Kenny Carter managed to split these two, but it wasn't going to stop Denmark winning the 1981 World Team Cup

Eat my dirt...😁 Brian Foote of Romford serves it up, 50 years ago

1981 and the opening Test between England and the USA took place at Belle Vue, where these two rode together in the winning team. Ian Cartwright and Chris Morton.

@mxstar_12 Truth 👍

@Speedway_Photos Oh Kenny - picture paints a thousand words x

We don't get controversy in Grand Prix these days, not really. But we used to get them in World Finals ! LA, yes that's Los Angeles 🇺🇸, for the big one of 1982. This was taken during the re-run of Heat 14. The losers, being Kenny Carter and his arsehole of a Dad, big Mel.

@philmorrisgb If only you knew how to make a speedway track... I'll keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞

Some people never understand the damage they cause to events by reporting fake news. Yes the weather has been bad over the past week in Lublin, but if the meeting was raced today it would of happened as track is in good condition 👊 Let's hope Fri and Sat weather stays OK 👍

You've gotta love Shooey 😍🇺🇲

@DaffodilGirl59 Oh it's only in males of a species JD, don't fret 😉😅

@Speedway_Photos 🙄

Sticking with the solo Aussie theme today... A cracking shot of a triple world champion who brilliantly overcame the handicap of ginger hair...😋

@DaffodilGirl59 Proven medical science Jane ! 🙂 Apparently 🤭🤫

@Speedway_Photos And why should ginger hair be a handicap??

@PaulCWoolnough Next time, if you're lucky 😜😘

@Speedway_Photos That's Mr Bastard to you 🤣

I can't have an Aussie theme without the beautiful William Robert Sanders. If there is a god, then god bless you Billy

@PaulCWoolnough And Big Daddys

@Speedway_Photos I can see why you thought it was Billy. They both wore AGV helmets.
