Smashing bloke. he used to let me stand with the all riders in the pit area in front of the bar. I got the autographs of some of the greatest riders ever whilst
standing there. Ove Funding, Ivan Mauger, Barry Briggs and Ole Olson to name just a few.

I think he was also a member of the magic circle as well.

Sadly missed. RIP Ian icon_sad.gif

Quote: Hull FC since 50s "Ian Thomas was everything you could wish for in a professional sport franchise owner/manager.

He brought great riders to the Hull Vikings - Ivan Mauger, Reg Wilson, Jimmy Mc and Bobby Beaton, the Owen brothers, Josef Angermuller, the Moran Brothers and Dennis Sigalos from California - in a golden era for speedway at the Boulevard.

Thank you Ian for many wonderful memories and rest in peace.'"

Just reading those names makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! Great times and a great guy. Seem to remember him having one or two "stand ups" with other promoters - IIRC one time someone cut his pink tie off with a pair of scissors!!
