Sadly, two in the space of a few days from the speedway world: Colin Pratt, 82 and Alan 'Big Al' Grahame, 67.

Earlier this year, Pratt - at various times a rider, a team manager, a promoter and an administrator - became the first inductee into the Speedway Hall of Fame.

I'm very sad to report that Rick Jones, aka Yoffy from Fingerbobs has passed away aged 84. I initially interviewed him for my book many years ago and we stayed in touch. He was a huge creative spirit, a talented musician and a lover of life. I shall miss him greatly
