Completely shattered by the news that Peter passed away last night. He loved the Tigers and sharing their history on here, posting as PC49, and on Facebook and enjoyed identifying riders in photos and finding possible dates for the pics. He was a prominent member of the Speedway Memories group and we'll miss his infectious enthusiasm at meetings.
He was a regular contributor to our programme prior to the Facenna era, with his photo history page. Always a great read, putting the photo in the context of the time.
He will always be remembered for being the anchor man of the Tigers team that topped the Eggheads on the BBC quiz programme when he single handedly beat the combined might of the five Eggheads in the final round. There were many months between the recording and the programme being televised and it is to his eternal credit that he never told anyone about it ahead of the screening.
Our thoughts go out to Moira and his family at this terribly sad time.
Goodbye Peter, it was an honour to have known you.
