Sad to report that Kenny passed away this morning. From the BSPA:
SCUNTHORPE team manager Kenny Smith lost his battle against throat cancer when he died this morning.
The Scorpions boss, who had been given only days to live last week, fulfilled his pledge to manage his side for one final time at Saturday’s Premier Trophy semi-final against Edinburgh.
Scunthorpe promoter Rob Godfrey said: “Everyone connected with the club is absolutely devastated. Kenny will be a huge loss, not only to us but speedway as a whole.”
