I was not a Penhall fan, he was Cradley and they were the Enemy...But this world final was truly won by Bruce, he rode superbly, this heat and the one against Knudsen.
People slag Bruce off but he was a fantastic speedway rider who could generate tremendous speed entering a bend, a skill not many riders can do succesfully , also he could knock it up a gear when he had to...
Me too with my late mum Always cheered on crumpie back then Remember a great race with john titman and peter collins when they passed and re passed each other and johns engine blew up Happy days miss mum alot
Remember being there that night with my brother and dad , the noise from the crowd was deafening ! That was the last world final to be held at Wembley, thanks to crappy football ..
When I was a kid, I had a major depression after this heat, rewatching now, 43 years later - depression hits again. I'm Danish, I expected Ole to win each and every heat, nothing else was an option. I was traumatized when Penhall took than win, and the title - not letting traume hit me now, but still - gggggg. What a terror Penhall was, what a terror.

Me too with my late mum
