It is with great sadness that Cradley's former
hero from the 70s has passed away. Bernt
Persson was born on 24th June 1946. The pinnacle of his career was 1972 at
Wembley, cheered on by hundreds of Heathens fans. He lost a run-off with
Ivan Mauger for the World Final. RIP Bernie, thanks for all those memories,
your name will live on forever |
Sad to hear that former Cradley
Heathen Jan Jakobsen has passed away from cancer in his native Denmark.
Jan had one season, 1987 with the Heathens , shown here with Danish super stars
Jan O Pedersen and Erik Gundersen.
R.I.P Jan, still remembered by Cradley fans.
