And Wimbledon had Ollie Nygren in his white boots!

Used to go around the outside to overtake like Sverre and a lot of the Skandi riders, then he joins WH, shades of Ian Wright there.but in the Summer used to be good fun.

Ivan Mauger and Barry Briggs were the kingpins, going back further there was Orb Lawson and Eric Chitty at WH when there was 120,000 in the Stadium.
