Sad to hear the passing of former Heathens hero Harry Bastable.  Harry was a speedway legend for Cradley in the 1950's and 1960's. He was Cradley's captain and top rider.

Harry joined the Heathens in 1950 but when the Heathens re-opened in 1960 in the Provincial League he joined the club again to become their number one that was his best year, but he remained riding with the club until 1965.

 In 1973 Harry was back with the club as team manager, changing their name to Cradley United.
In 1975 Harry introduced Stoke (Chesterton) to speedway with Russ Bragg also his son Steve, who later also became Heathens number one.

Our thoughts are with his his family at this time.
Thanks for the memories Harry you were a Cradley Hero.
