The scene on opening night May 2 2002. This followed a torrential rainstorm midway through the meeting that nearly led to the revival meeting being abandoned. In th end, racing continued but on a track heavily waterlogged and in poor racing condition. |

Graeme Gordon on bike, Glen Phillips Any ideas as to who the rider in the first action shot is? Or is he now destined to never be identified? |

Phil Ambrose, action[/quote] The grass track and speedway career of Phil Ambrose ended when he broke a leg in a 2002 grass track meeting at Wainfleet. He died in his sleep aged 27 years in 2007. Besides Wimbledon I think he also had spells on speedway at several tracks including Arena Essex and Rye House.[/font][/font] |

In the 2002 Wimbledon revival pix both Graeme Gordon and Glenn Phillips are shown. They seem to have had very brief stays in Dons colours - apart from the revival opener at Plough Lane against Belle Vue Colts did they ride in any more matches for the Dons?

The group shot - CL Wimbledon's first posed group is, from left, Jon Stevens, Glen Phillips (?), Chris Hunt, not known, Cecil Forbes.
The action shot taken in 2003 - is known to be Martin Williams and should be compared as possibly being the rider 'not' known heading this selection.Attachments:
