Michael Lee's Finest Hour

1980 Gothenburg in Sweden

[@charliezobel511]

I went round to Michael's gaff in Suffolk with a mutual friend probably 30 years ago. Though at the time my pal told me he was a former speedway champion as I've never been a fan of the sport I didn't realise he was actually a world champion till watching this just now, wowsers 😮

I used to go watch this stuff when I was a kid and I sure miss it. They need to bring it back. These bikes are so cool. Unlike the fat wheel AFT bikes they run today.

kings lynn 1973 mike was a little boy riding after the meeting, we all knew on the terraces at saddlebow he would go the distance and he didn't let us down, a speedway genius you were michael

[@MELLYBOY58]

We knew just as much at Boston mate ..✌️✌️🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@nervo6321]

The media etc talk about Michael,s wasted talent etc.....World Champion and World Longtrack Champion.....hardly wasted talent.....agree Mike could have achieved more titles but he achieved so much at a young age he was bound to get fed up with it all eventually....in saying that never saw anyone quicker when in the mood.....

[@MELLYBOY58]

The end of interview ... not one,but two legends ✌️✌️🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@CaptainScarlet1961]

I used to work in the barn where Michael built his engines, shame how things turned out for him!

[@garryclegg6499]

Remember seeing Mike at Bellevue riding for Boston must have been 76/77. I think.

[@frozenice61]

jhon davis milked it as much as he could before giving way lol

[@jacksonirving4594]

Hope your feeling well Mike..

[@DavidLee-no9uc]

It's a LEE thing!..

[@grahamjordan1040]

Rather than getting over the finish line he was more interested in doing a line

[@holliehighway6246]

Yess thank you

[@DavidBrown-ck8ky]

Looks like the tapes went up to early. The starting Marshall wasn’t even ready 🤣

[@nobrakesukspeedway]

He wasn’t but the riders were

[@brianbassett4094]

This was not his finest hour, winning the longtrack was.

[@orsoncart9441]

He was too intelligent.

[@grahamjordan1040]
