nelly-dean Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I have put Tommy Roebuck’s fotos onto my foto website. I have put as much info as I can on them. Please add further info by clicking “comments” underneath each pic, especially names if you have them. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bushbaby387/?saved=1 When I have all the info, I will send them to the “History of Cycle Speedway” site http://www.cyclespeedwayhistory.org.uk/ Tommy’s group foto of the tigers isn’t exactly the same as the one we’ve already seen, but was taken a few seconds before or after that one If anybody wants a copy of any of the fotos, email me at Bushbaby387@yahoo.co.uk, and I’ll be happy to oblige Big thanks to Tommy I just had a look at the pics after bro Tommy told me they were up here. I well remember having my pic taken that day. We'd traveled to the event in my dads Bedford van if memory serves.? good old days:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerman Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Hi everyone - Bushbaby I didn't think you would have the photo's done so quickly, not after the amount of drink we put away in the Cow and Calf, anyway it was a good turnout and really good to remember Pete and tell stories about him to his younger nieces. Never thought the negative was my sister Jean - I actually thought it was Terry Howell before he started shaving his head. Tigerman was right about "Tall man" - Tony Mitchell (Fir Vale) (sorry I didn't get to see u Tony - will make sure next time I'm down in Sheffield) SPOTTY SHIRT is Brian Saunby (Sheffield Tigers) and QUIFF is Eddie Fordham (Hackenthorpe) The missing name AT THE GATE is Brian Saunby. I had a long conversation with Ken on Sunday night when I got home - obviously he was upset about the loss of Pete - but we had a long talk about the old days and the times we had. We've agreed to meet up next time I'm in Sheffield - he has loads of photos of the cycle speedway days, so I'll get them to you Bushbaby. tom have you got them photos yet off ken if you have them let us all see them please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
