Dream Team : Tommy Hansson

I used to support Kaparna( Gothenburg,Sweden) until they folded in 2008. The first meeting I remember seeing was back in 1985 at Ullevi Stadium and the last meeting I saw was their last ever in 2008 at Mariestad.

Jan Andersson
The first favourite of mine. He rode for Kaparna between 1975-1985 and 1992-1994. He also rode for my favorite team in England (Reading Racers). Jan was a rider that rarely fell of his bike, got injured or had an engine failure.

Per Jonsson
He didn't ride for Kaparna but he was a fantastic rider. I was so happy when he became world champion in 1990. When he had his accident in 1994 I have to say I lost interest for the sport for a while.

Kenneth Nystr m
The best gater I have ever seen in Kaparna. He didn't lose a point during the whole season in 1991. He did numerous comebacks in the 2000 s when the club was in crisis. A fabulous rider.

Peter Karlsson
One of the most stylish riders I have ever seen in Kaparna. I saw him back in 1985 when he rode for rnarna and 25 years later he is still riding. Wow!

Jarek Hampel
One of my favorite riders in the 2000 s. He rode for Kaparna during a few seasons.

Kenneth Lindby
I remember when he was 2nd in the Swedish Championship in 1995. He rode so good you wouldn't believe. He rode for Bysarna during his career.

Christer Jonsson
He rode for Dackarna for most of his career. I can remember seeing him riding in the 1990 s. He was very stylish on the bike but I think he got injured a lot.
