PHIL Morris has added another big name to his Farewell Meeting line-up with the announcement of three-times World Champion Jason Crump.

The hugely-popular Australian no longer rides regularly in Britain and will be making a special journey from his Swedish home to compete in the event at Birmingham on Thursday, September 1.The two riders raced together in Belle Vue’s 2006 Elite League side and have always had a great respect for each other.Crump said: "Phil and I go back a long way. We've always got on well and he was a great team-mate to have at Kirkmanshulme Lane.”

Morris is particularly thrilled that the Aussie is taking time out from his heavy schedule to fly in specifically for his big night.

He added: “Jason is a guy I have always regarded as the ultimate pro. The fact he is riding in my meeting when he is no longer UK based also shows what a top bloke he is.”The line-up for the meeting at Perry Barr is really taking shape and features other major stars of the sport; this includes Britain’s current Grand Prix star Chris Harris and former GP riders Lee Richardson and Tai Woffinden.They join previously announced fellow Brits Edward Kennett, Danny King, Ben Barker and Lewis Bridger, plus former Reading favourites Ulrich Ostergaard and Sam Simota.In addition to the main event there will be a number of other races involving Britain’s rising Under-16 and Under-21 stars. And in a further commitment to the sport that served him so well during his twenty-year career, Morris has also pledged that he will donate part of the proceeds from the night to the Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund and British Youth Speedway development.

Full details of the meeting format and the remaining riders will be revealed next week.
