When Jack got to heaven his buddys met him and took him down to the track, and there was Jack's bike, nice and new as he felt, and he was racing that night. Jack looked around and saw plenty of young faces he'd known in the past and the stands were full of fans. Jack looked over and noticed Jason Crumps bike and asked what was going on , Jason wasn't dead. "That's god's bike, he thinks he's Jason Crump". Loved the video.
A lovely tribute. I lost my dad, who was a starting marshall at many tracks, including Long Eaton. He would have known Jack, as I recognised a few faces, including Mick Handley, and my own Godfather, Terry Stone.
I met Jack a few times.. a really nice guy my brother Paul Sharples rode with the Nelson team and I think Berwick....great tribute to a great man.....rip Jack
1.04 or 1.40 jack winstanly on newcastle diamonds video it is called newcastle diamonds through the years dont know if there is any more in the video what a great rider.
Never had the honour to see him ride, but by the photos I reckon he had a nice style. At least he belonged to the great years of speedway. You must be proud.
As a teenager in the late 60's didn't I remember your Dad as a rider at Nelson? Apologies if wrong, but think I did. Anyway saw him a few times on the Northern circuits - great guy - RIP Jack.
A fitting Tribute to an Amazingly Unique Man. They certainly Broke The Mold For This One!!!!!! All The Best To You and Your`s George.See you soon. Love The Masonette`s x

Thanks for posting these pics of your Dad - you must be (rightly) so proud of him.
He clearly earnt his living in Speedway when it was at it's most dangerous and obviously had a great deal of courage in the name of entertainment.
This was when speedway was at it's greatest - instead of today's commercialised World of many 'wonnabe prima donas' !
