Eric Boocock

Eric Boocock interviewed by Retro Speedway in November 2014. The younger of the two famous racing brothers from West Yorkshire recalls his on-track rivalry with Nigel, their clashes when Halifax and Coventry met, as well as their appearance together for England in the 1970 World Pairs Championship.
The first half of this clip is taken from our Memories of Halifax Speedway DVD.
