The club has a reputation of importing young foreign talent and have given starts to the British careers of six times World Champion Ivan Mauger, three times World Champion Ole Olsen and 2003 . He takes a well-deserved testimonial meeting at Brough Park tomorrow (3.00) - and fans will be relieved to hear he has no intention of just taking the money and riding off into the sunset. Juul said: "I am more or less happy to carry on as long as somebody wants me to ride for them as a second string. "As long as I can do that and feel happy I'll keep going on. "I will ride for a few more years and if Newcastle want me to ride for them I think we are probably talking about another three or four seasons." Tomorrow's match is between a Newcastle Select side and Elite League champions of two years ago, Wolverhampton, on whose books Juul has been since 1995.
