Afraid not, mate. I can still picture wee Robert Bruce McGregor, though ;D Another crash I can remember was an SJL rider coming out in the second half in a set of brand spanking new leathers. It was a cold, wet and miserable night and the track was like a quagmire and yer man came off up at the 3rd/4th bend and he was raging at the state of his leathers and started rolling about the wet centre green grass trying to clean them ;D...I think it was Alan Stansfield

I remember all the hype when the golden boy, Juicey Brucey was on his way to Blantyre with the Heathens and rightly so, but it was his team mate who the biggest impression on the young MJFC that night and the wee Dane with the permanent smile become one of my all time favourites ;D Sadly we know what happened to Erik less than ten years later But check out this video.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOSvOEIJw_0.....inspiring stuff, eh? Just watched it all the way through for the first time.Difficult to put into words what sort of inspiration that level of courage gives you. Certainly Gundo the Wundo.

About 4!!!, he was one of our worst money transfer signings of all time and lost his team place to a young Charlie McKinna. Newton, Terry Kelly and Steve Lawson all "starred" in Tiger's 17 points at Edinburgh and Berwick on successive nights at the start of the 1978 season.
