I could watch races like that all night, sheer magic.

Poole Pirates was my team in the 70's and to have Simmo as captain was a dream come true. I remember this so well.. loved PC but the fact that he pipped Simmo to the crown was hard to swallow. To this day if I'm successfully weaving past pedestrians in busy city centres I still find myself saying "Peter Collins goes round the outside"!

Dave lanning what a commentator

Look at the size of the crowd !!! Love my speedway such a shame that so many that used to go have either passed away or dont even know its still going

If ever a speedway rider was in unstoppable form it was Peter on this day, i know he came second to Ivan in his final race but already had the title sewn up, absolutely breathtaking....

Breathtaking!

Why don't more people love speedway I just don't understand it

Wow what memories !!!!!!! Was at that Final, now so many years ago, and it was enthralling from beginning to end. Also Poland at that time required a visa to be able to visit as was still part of the Russian East European Block. Travelled on a chartered train full of British supporters acroos Europe and on to Katowice. As said enthralling from many aspects, first time ion Poland, East Berlin, and of course notwithstanding watch PC take the goods on the day. One day cliff hangers still hard to forget and love............... Have been to Poland many times since, and just wish we could see the same sort of crowds that they manage to pull in on a regular basis, Thanks for the post Martyn, and is this available as a full transmission from the era, presume ITV, and of course with the redoubtable Dave Lanning on commentary

Poetry on wheels...

Just brilliant Speedway..

Another great video from Martyn.

Amazing race for an "all time great".
