Memories of Swindon Speedway DVD Trailer

Welcome to this brief preview of our Memories of Swindon Speedway DVD - a double-disc, four-hour production spanning from the Robins' opening in July 1949 to the modern day. Includes exclusive new filmed interviews with Swindon legends Barry Briggs, Mike Broadbank and Martin Ashby, plus footage of Leigh Adams' last rides at The Abbey Stadium in October 2010. Other action includes colour cine footage of Briggo's debut for the Robins at Oxford in 1964, league action from the visit to West Ham in 1966 and other clips of Swindon racing at home and away. Former rider Barry Duke allowed us to use his home movie clips of him riding for Swindon against Belle Vue, Halifax and Wimbledon, while he talks us through some two-valve Jawa machine maintenance in a unique nostalgia feature. Respected Swindon historian and author Glynn Shailes pays tribute to his all-time top 25 favourite Robins. In addition from the obvious legends, including the above named quartet, he recalls his dear friend, the late Bob Kilby, plus Phil Crump, Jason Crump, Neil Street, Bob Jones, George Craig, Mick Mitchell, Reg Lambourne, Ian Williams, George White, Ken Middleditch, Clive Hitch, Barry Duke, Mac Woolford, Mike Keen, Ernie Lessiter, Danny Malone, Geoff Bouchard, Jimmy Nilsen, Brian Karger and Darryl Ritchings. Rare and evocative still images complete this wonderful journey down memory lane, where the Robins go 'bob, bob, bobbing along'.
