In his latest On Air in Suffolk column, broadcaster Stephen Foster tells how he became the voice of Suffolk speedway
No brakes, no fear. That pretty much sums up one of my favourite sports - speedway.
We’re incredibly lucky here in Suffolk to have two fantastic clubs - the Ipswich Witches and the Mildenhall Fen Tigers. I have been fortunate enough to cover both for BBC Radio Suffolk, often combining that role with announcing duties at Foxhall and West Row.
My love of speedway goes back to the mid-1970s when my good friend Robert Pearson and I used to ride our not-so-funky mopeds up to Foxhall on a Thursday night to watch the likes of John Louis, Tony ‘Shrimp’ Davey and Billy Sanders make it all look so easy which, of course, it is not.
