Does anyone remember when Robert Nagy rode for the Glasgow Tigers and I think he went about three meetings at exeter without being beaten and also won the Westernapolis? He was fantastic but I think an injury shortened his career.
Yeah I remember him mid to early 90's, It did'nt help that Exeter had such a poor team during that time as well, but at the level he was always top or near top of the averages, I think he was Hungarian [tap] and Glasgow were a very strong side.

Favourite Falcons? For entertainment value, it has to be Alan Rivett and Colin Cook.

Best Rider i've seen in the green bib? Steve Regeling was pretty unbeatable around the County Ground during my era.

Worst Rider? Jon Gould took some beating. Well, he didn't, but you know what I mean...

RIP Stanno, City Legend never to be forgotten

What a rider.

Just noticed on their website that one of my Primary schoolmates made it into the team in 1992!

Knew he was decent on a moto-x bike, even when he was like 8, but didn't know he'd done that.......
