Dream Team : Paul Always been a Wimbledon supporter since I was a kid. My mum and dad took me there for the first time in 1953 when I was five years old (you work out how old I am!!!!) Fundin Nygren Ove Fundin The fastest gater of his day. There was no-one around with his gating skills and aggression during the late 50's and to the mid sixties, he was the man to beat! Ronnie Moore The Wimbledon number one rider for over 10 years during the 50's & 60's. He was totally unflappable and could read a track situation like no-one else. An amazing team captain. Peter Craven The total unorthodox style and determination of this tiny guy was unbelievable. He could throw a bike into a bend with total disregard for his safety. Where other riders would be slowing for the corner, he'd be accelerating past them and winning races through sheer courage! Ivan Mauger No-one but a fool would leave this guy out! Maybe the fastest gater there's ever been. Once the tapes went up he was usually 10 yards in front before the others had let go of the clutch! I would have loved to have seen him and Ove Fundin gate together. Nigel Boocock An all rounder of all the best things in a rider. He could gate quickly, corner immaculately, win from the back (especially on the final bend) and team ride wonderfully. Olle Nygren The first of the flying Swedes! Was always trying to win (by fair means or foul!) but would never give up on a race even if he was 50 yards behind on the final bend! Ron Howe Mr reliability! He never became a star, because you could only have one in a team and Ronnie Moore was Wimbledon's, but he could team ride better than anyone else could ever dream of! .

75 Years History 11-15
Part 11: 1957- 58 SEASON The 1957/58 South African speedway league season turned out to be a two-horse-race between Pretoria Eagles and Durban Hornets, with the former eventually clinching the championship on race-points difference, after both finished with an identical record of five wins and one loss from their six official matches. The highlights were the two direct encounters between the Eagles and the Hornets, which both ended in a home win. On January 12, Durban won a thriller of a match by 51.5 points to 50.5 at their own Hoy Park circuit. Henry Long (14) and Roy Bowers (11) top scored for the Hornets, while Pretoria’s Swedish ace Olle Nygren recorded an 18 points maximum. Just three days later, on January 15, both teams met for the return match at Pretoria’s Speedway Stadium. This time the Eagles beat the Hornets in another close match, keeping the title chase still undecided. For the record and to give an idea of the line-up’s of that year’s top two teams. Here are the points score details of the Pretoria match: PRETORIA Eagles (52): Olle Nygren 18, Trevor Redmond 15, Howdy Cornell 8, Claude Warne 6, Jimmy Scott 3, Charlie Branders 2. DURBAN Hornets (49): Henry Long 13, Neil Mortimer 11, Roy Bowers 11, Gerry Hickson 5, Aubrey Long 4, Vern McWilliams 3, Graham White 2. By the end of February, all but one of the league matches had been completed and Pretoria sat on top of the league table. Durban Hornets, with one match in hand, needed to beat the East Rand Stars by a margin of 8 or more to put themselves on top, but only managed a tight 50-48 win against the men from Springs, which kept Hornets in second place to the Eagles in the league’s final standings.

Był wtedy dyrektorem Biura Sportu ZG PZM. Mnie, wówczas trzydziestolatkowi, powierzono funkcj ę społecznego wiceprezesa Zwi ązku do spraw wychowawczych. On miał lat 60 – był w wieku moje- go Ojca – i nie dziwiłbym si ę, gdyby potraktował mnie i moje zadania w PZM z dystansem czy nawet z doz ą sceptycyzmu. Przyj ął mnie jednak z otwartymi ramionami. Sam jako młody człowiek – jeszcze przed wojn ą – zwi ązał si ę ze sportem motocyklowym. W PZM działał „od zawsze”, ci ągle nie brakowało mu entuzjazmu i sił do pełnienia swoich zawodowych i społecznych funkcji, dostrzegał jednak konieczno ść przypływu do Zwi ązku nowych, młodych działaczy. Chciał i potrafił dzieli ć si ę swoj ą wiedz ą, do świadczeniem, kontaktami. Szybko nasze relacje stały si ę bliskie i kole Ŝeńskie.
