Memories of Hackney Speedway DVD - Barry Thomas

Hackney Speedway's ultimate legend, Barry Thomas, in a trailer for our Memories of Hackney Speedway double-disc DVD. Former Great Britain and England international 'Thommo' joined the Hawks in 1970 and was still riding for the now sadly defunct East London club 20 seasons later. In 1989 he became the first speedway rider to be awarded two testimonial meetings with the same club. Great to watch, terrifically determined and a bloody good bloke too.

Wonderful memories. The most exciting rider ever.what a legend.

To this day, and in my honest opinion, our THOMMO was the most exciting speedway rider that has ever graced the sport........especially the 'hallowed shale' of Waterden Road.

Just to add, for any Hackney supporters, this is a truly BRILLIANT DVD set. Prepare to she'd a tear or two though!
