That was me in the blue mask in the pool, I remember the dog, it was actually a stray that just showed up that day. 😅 Billy's son and I were best mates. Both gone far too early 😔
thank for posting , was brought up on speedway , going to Sydney showground in pram , growing up watching phil crump, billy sanders amoungs others and the international riders who came out - such a shame what happened to billy RIP
Thank you, that's bliss such a lovely fulla was a privelige to meet and know him and hold up the Aussie flag in the back of a ute at the Sydney showgrounds track when he beat all world comers.. Love you Billy rest in peace ✌
When Billy raced for ipswich witches he lived in my road in hadleigh suffolk. I had a very uncomfortable ride on the fuel tank of his bike at the local sand pits where he would test his bikes. I remdmber being quite star struck but was put at ease by his freindly manner.RIP Billy.
And now Liverpool is long gone, solos speedway is all but dead in NSW, and just a few outposts remain around the country. Can't see the sport existing in Australia in a decade, maybe even sooner.
