I was there. 1978. Where did those years go? Followed Cradley Heath but Ole Olsen my favourite. I was 13 years old.

Watched it on TV together with my dad in Danmark. Ole Olsen winning saved then 12 yo me from a depression.

Ole was majestic that night, we were so happy to get a world champion for the Bees, he was so bloody handsome

[@cwnapier67]

Some great riders there. Remember them fondly

[@gillsetterfield4705]

Yes you dont get riders like that now

[@markwoodiwiss9762]

My first world final - brought back some great memories. So sad for Dave Jessup - best rider overall on the night.

[@gillsetterfield4705]

He was good but Ole was better
