Sub, can you start up week 48, I want to nominate Ole Olsen for overruling Jan Staechmann regarding the Danish GP wildcard. Talk about kicking a guy when he's down..............seems you've chosen to forget how Ole put Hans Nielsen on the map a few years ago. ;D Kev, so you've read the latest Backtrack then? What a load of old baloney in the Olsen interview Hans Nielsen succeeded, despite Ole Olsen, not because of him. No, I don't like Ole Olsen. But then no a lot of other people do.

Talk about kicking a guy when he's down..............seems you've chosen to forget how Ole put Hans Nielsen on the map a few years ago. ;D Today he might be an incomparable flapperjack but I have not forgotten how he helped to pull Coventry out of its early 70's doldrums. We achieved success with a team that looked distinctly average on paper and much of this was down to the way Ole 'talked up' the rest of the team. The stand-out perfomances in that respect were from Alan Molyneux who was only ever really a distinctly average second-string yet for a time was a heat-leader. But it was also Ole who eventually drove Mitch Shirra away after having first been a great influence. For me, they were happy days and even the happenings of the last few seasons cannot match how I felt back then, although that fact that our old firm were major sponsors at the time had some influence on my memories, as I felt more involved than in later years. However, I spoke to Vic White about 18 months ago, and he said that when he was at Brandon that it always seemed to him that Ole not only wanted to be Captain and number one, but also coach, promoter, team manager, track curator, paymaster and possibly even caterer. Part of the same conversation were Colin Pratt, Eric Boocock and Ray Wilson and they all nodded agreement at Vic's comments and said he had been going in that direction towards the end of his time at Wolverhampton.
