Though im a Belle Vue fan Erik Gundersen was my fav rider . I was at Bradford in 85 watching him beat Neilsen & Ermolenko in the run off . Best meeting ever , and also at Bradford when he broke his neck . Thank you for bringing my childhood memories back , it means a lot .

I remember at the time thinking Shawn Moran was going to win this one but never really put in a decent performance, Kelly did though...

Pure World of Sport not to show the run off for second place.

Think Dave lanning says it all ? So many legends retired. Think that’s when it changed. Unfortunately Simon wigg great rider showman nice guy was not promoted by British press.
