Graham Gleave Page |
|
John says: Graham Gleave is a supporter without equal. I know him
as a Belle Vue man but he has an interest that goes way beyond his
home team. For a number of years he has been researching
archives etc and turning up copies of newspaper articles and other
historical speedway gems, which I have been happy to include
"dotted-around" the team pages in the A-Z section of the website.
I am pleased to give Graham his own page as a "thank you" for
helping me so much. Hopefully he will find more items which
we can display on this page. |

Graham says: my biggest "find" for John
was in unearthing the Syd Newiss Photo Collection showing pics
from the 1928/29 tour of Argentina.

John says: I am pleased to have the
Graham Gleave page. There are numerous researchers sending
the website the fruits of their enquiries, but non so prolific as
Graham. if you can help him with 2nd half details from Belle
Vue 1966-2007 please send me an email and I will forward it to him
