    Penhall is and always will be a Heathens legend. His departure left the way for Erik and Lance to emerge and the Heathens became even stronger.

    Bruce had already made his mind by this stage that he was going to leg it before the end of the season....i am sure....

    £30,000 a year for the world champ. That's about 5 minutes of run of the mill premier league footballer nowadays.

    Really shocked me this has I thought Bruce retired on the podium after winning his second world final. Cradley should have kept lance king he was mustard along with Phil Collins and Erik Henderson. Ommer um cradley

    Teflon Bruce showing his true colours. Always seen as a knight in shining armour. Never liked him & this action, plus reneging on the contract he demanded by retiring on the 82 WF rostrum, tells you all you need to know about him.

    Yep - he deliberately ran dead in a race to get more Americans into a world final and got the reception he deserved from the crowd. Speedway people were used to Iron Curtain riders team riding in individual championships, but when riders from the so-called greatest democracy in the world do it, speedway fans have every right to feel pissed off!
