What an interesting documentary, reminds you of how humble people where in those days.

I live in the same village as one of Ivans rivals. Ivor Brown.

Mauger and Edy Jancarz Beutyful speedway

That’s was when he rode for my local team EXETER FALCONS in the 70s I used to watch them every week he was my favourite rider and some years later we had his gold speedway bike in our book shop in town great days.

*Great upload, met Ivan briefly at Blackbird Road Stadium [Leicester UK] along with Norman Hunter, Anders Michanek, Johnnie Boulger & Ray Wilson - great days !*

🙇🙇🙇🥇🏆🏆🏆😇Jesus

The greatest rider ever

Georgie Best, Denis Law, Bobby Charlton, Ivan Mauger and many other Manchester sportsmen were all my heros. Never had to ever look further than my home town to find a world champion. That meant a lot to a kid growing up in the slums. The ace of clubs adorned my dark red exercise books.

Worth every penny he earned. Rest in peace Ivan lad.

Rest in peace sir.

Don't forget Ivan was the star at Newcastle Diamonds during the 60s..his gold bike was on display for a while. Great racing from a great rider.. The best..

RIP

I’m so sorry to hear about the death of Ivan manger I only met him once he came to Perry Barr when he opened up the new season of speedway at Perrry Barr home of the Birmingham Brummies in 2007. My condolences to his family and friends. RIP.

R.I.P. Ivan mauger..you were great at exeter and will never be forgotten

R.I.P ...you were great at exeter and will never be forgotten.

I grew up playing with Ivan's kid's in the late 60's. We all lived on the same Avenue..Oakfield Ave , Chorlton, Manchester. I remember playing in their house. My parent's even took phone call's for him as they did not even have a phone. Think Ivan was giving driving lessons..I remember a white Zepher . What Ivan went on to achieve is very, very special. I was around those old Speedway bike's as a young kid age 5. lived my life around race bike's and car's ever since..rub's off on you. Ivan I'm off to Bell Vue this Saturday with my son's to watch the Aces. I'm 54 now. I found some old photo's the other day of me age 5 stood with Debbie and I think Graham Coombes daughter. Hope your well My parent's ..Dennis and Dorothy..remember us ? Lost my Dad 20 year's ago..I know he used to repair your steel boot !

Great vid, but if you want to get to the real meat and potatoes go to 13:38.....that's mad.

blokes using a bloody shifter on a carby. BLOODY HELL.

Ivan was my favourite rider he rode for our team Hull Vikings and he was amazing sadly we don't have speedway in Hull now and although i'm a recycled teenager i miss it very much

wonderful clip - I can remember when this was shown. was never a great fan of mauger preferred Olsen but incredible to think he won the title 6 times. so sad that he is now in poor health.

seen him in dunedin when i was about 10…legend

It was amazing to see Ullevi Stadium packed for the '77 final, even in horrid weather. Last years (2013) GP there looked to have perhaps only a thousand or so spectators.

Priceless, thanks for posting.

To the best of my knowledge Ivan Mauger never rode Tralee speedway in Canberra! And when was this? What year? i THINK YOU ARE FULL OF IT

As a little school boy i saw Ivan Mauger riding in several Longtrack Meetings in Germany in the early 80´s !!! Legend !!!

I BEAT YOUR record at trallee speedway canberra australia ..by half a second ...your time was 17.5 seconds and i passed the australian champion kevin paton as we both lapped the field at 17.5 seconds and lapped every other rider ..back in the 1970's .. i did it because i read your book on racing and perfecting ballance and did your exersises on my bike as well as adding a few ideas i got from usa flat track racing.. front wheel slides and perfected sliding the front wheel as well ..skeatesy1

i wonder how much that gold jawa is worth now??????

That you for posting these - it made my day...cheers

A true sporting legend- my speedway hero

Just an excellent clip

Fantastic, thanks for the post!
