Gemini

Glad you've enjoyed looking at the photos, but that's about all I have got now unless I start on Summits colour ones, but even he doesn't know who they are so it might be a bit difficult. Have just put a few more black/white ones on - 52 to 63. Apologies again for leading everyone astray with Jancarz and I'm sorry to hear what happened to him. Don't ever upset the missus! :-(

Good idea and I am kicking myself now for not keeping all those I won in a Speedway Star/News competition in the 1950's, which I sold about ten years ago. :-(

Okay..I know it is a black/white photo but what colour helmet do you think the rider on the right has? Is it Red or Yellow/Black? If it's Red I might have some apologising to do. Edit..... Might as well get on with the apologising now as I think it must be Red and Jancarz. Sorry Steve and anyone else I misled, but I've got Gundersen on the back. At least I know it's not a new thing - I was thick all those years ago as well! You were first Steve so you get the credit for No. 24.

Unfortunately the first four photos are not named so I don't know, but I think we're all agreed it is Nigel Boocock on the inside. Just need the 3rd rider on No 24. Nielsen, Morton & ?. Think I will find the programme to make sure there is no mistake on the names on the back of the photo.

Ah! Never mind Falcace. Just two left. Numbers 14 and 24. (I think!)

7 - Carter/Chris Morton. With Muller. Yes. 17 - Penhall/Jessup Yes. Eric Dugard flying. Thanks. Somebody already correctly identified no. 11 as Penhall/George Best. Sorry - that's another one out then. 24... Nielsen, Morton, Jancarz Jancarz seems very popular, but it's not what I've got. ;-)

Too late! We must have posted at the same time WATigerman! Yes it's Eric Dugard. Which one is airborn and who is on the track does anyone know? Only five to go now.... 7 11 14 17 24

39 is Paul Gachet and Graeme Stapleton i think. Graeme Stapleton yes, but it's not Paul Gachet. Is Stapleton the one in the air? Clue to the other rider...think of a very famous Speedway family name.

40 - I've seen that one loads of times. It's Zenon Plech, with possibly John Titman behind. Yes. Haven't got name for 2nd rider but it does look like Titman. Answered your others on previous post on page 4.

Number 6 - that's definitely Carl Askew going down on the inside. I remember the moustache on the crash helmet. Correct and as that's the only rider named I'll let you have that. 7 - Kenny Carter, Mike Lee, Egon Muller? Carter, Muller. Need the rider in Yellow/Black. 9 - Penhall, Carter? Yes. 11. Bruce Penall (Cradley Heath) and George Best (Belle Vue) Yes. One of Belle Vue's best ever signings. 14 - Barry Briggs? (He used to wear those boots anyway!) No. Perhaps he bought Barry's old cast-offs. 17 - Sigalos & Morton? No. 24 - Hans Neilsen, Chris Morton, Jiri Stancl Not Stancl 30 - You've already got that one. Ha ha - revenge for number 52! Peter Collins & Doug Wyer. Ooops! It's hard work this you know! 35 - Sportak on the back & stars on the arms. Got to be John Davis. Yes. 38 - Looks like Briggo's crash helmet so I'll say it's him. Don't think it is though! Oh yea of little faith! Yes, it's Briggo. Strange how he uses his left hand, but I presume that's the one with the missing thumb? 39 - Grasping at strws here! Is that a White City race jacket? Looks like number 6 on the back? Er..... Trevor Geer. No. I don't think anyone will get this, especially the rider on the track.

Time to get up to date I think. Pictures identified:- 5..Grachan 6..Grachan 7..Falcace 8..WATigerman 9..Grachan 10 ..Falcace 11..Grachan 12..WATigerman 13..WATigerman 15..Steve Hone 16..Falcace 17..WATigerman 18..Steve Hone 19..Steve Hone 20..Grachan 21..Steve Hone 22..Falcace 23..Falcace 24..Steve Hone 25..Falcace 26..Falcace 27..Falcace 28..Named 29..Named 30..Gemini :?: 31..Named 32..Named 33..Named 34..Named 35..Grachan 36..Named 37..Falcace 38..Grachan 39..Frigbo & WATigerman 40..Grachan 41..Steve Hone 42..Grachan 43..Grachan 44..Falcace 45..WATigerman 46..Grachan 47..Steve Hone 48..Steve Hone 49..Jeff 50..Falcace 51..Steve Hone ===================Well done everyone!

Falcace.... No 37.... I'll go with my original guess of Mike Lee and Martin Ashby. All I have is Michael Lee so I'll presume Ashby is right. Also on second glance I think I've nailed 23: Muller, Gundersen, Ross, Dryml? Yes, all four correct. grachan.... No 42 is Roy Carter (no 4) and Bob Cooper. Yes. No 43 is Neil Cameron and Barry Crowson. Yes. You shouldn't be so honest grachan about your little bit of cheating! I would have been really impressed with you getting Neil Cameron and Barry Crowson. Steve Hone Speedway no. 13 - Dave Jessup/Les Collins. I haven't got the name of the Kings Lynn rider. Did Jessup ride for Lynn or is that a stupid question? Gemini.... Correct I like it Steve!

Igor Plechanov?

Sorry, but the first four photos have nothing on the back so I don't know who they are. I am hoping someone will be able to tell me. The majority of the other ones are named but I am letting people have a guess. It's keeping some of them happy anyway and I am learning a thing or two, like Dave Jessup riding for Kings Lynn.

falcace... 23 - Muller, Gundersen, Ross, Jancarz? Correct, but not Jancarz. 43 - Graeme Stapleton (fairly sure), David Gagen (stab in the dark) No! 50 - Les Collins at PC Testimonial 1980 (how nerdy is that? :roll: ) Yes. 44 - Benny O'Rourke? Yes. How did you get that?! 46 - Wayne Jackson, Steve McDermott?, John Barker All I've got is the rider crashing and that's John Barker so you're correct. Looks like grachan has got it right though ( with a bit of cheating!) Les Rumsey and Mike Fullerton are the other riders. 22 - Knudsen, Andersson Yes. 25 - Olsen, Penhall (classic race) Yes. 27 - Knudsen, Lee, Muller Yes. 26 - Knudsen, Penhall (double classic race) Yes. 47 - Mike Lee, Martin Ashby No. Grachan One of 43 is, I think, Barry Crowson and Graeme Stapleton. Barry Crowson is right but not Graeme Stapleton. No 42 - the words Dave & Gooderham come to mind and won't go away. Try harder to make them go away 'cos it's not right. No 46 - Mike Fullerton, Les Rumsey & John Barker (I cheated on that one - it's in Mike Patrick's Superstars of Speedway) Naughty!! Anyway, you've done me a favour because I'd only got John Barker on the back of the photo. 52 - Paul Tyrer? Is that a trick question? I thought I'd only gone up to 51.

Steve Hone...... no 9 is Penhall inside Carter. Yes. no 15 looks like Kelly Moran leading Carter Yes. no 5 is the same crash as 43 at Wimbledon. Never even noticed that! :? Not got the riders though have you? 21 is possibly Mike Lee, Jan Andersson, Penhall, Gundersen Yes. 24 is Nielsen in front, possibly Morton and Jancarz behind First two correct, but it's not Jancarz. 23...Muller, Gundersen, Crump, Stancl Muller, Gundersen correct, but it's not Crump and Stancl. Falcace... 16 - Crump, K Moran, Nielsen, V Verner Yes. 10 - K Moran, P Collins. Yes. Well done Falcace. Jeff.... 43 Rickard Hellsen & Roger Johns. No. Don't think anyone will get this. WATigerman.... Speedway no. 50 - Les Collins. Yes. Speedway no. 12 - Bruce Penhall leads Dave Jessup Yes. Speedway no. 13 - Dave Jessup/Les Collins Les Collins. I haven't got the name of the Kings Lynn rider. Did Jessup ride for Lynn or is that a stupid question?

We're on a roll now! That's right. Should make No 9 a bit easier? (Or perhaps not.) I've added your name as correct underneath the photo.

Yes that's correct Jeff. Well done. Spot on WATigerman. Will bow to your knowledge Steve because it doesn't say who is 2nd. Thanks. Jeff has got this one right - Rolf Gramstad. You'll never guess these two! _________________

That address is correct Kevin. I have just checked in our telephone directory. Tele. No:- 01530 244070.

pic 41 looks like Jessup. Correct. is it Simmo in white in pic 43? No. picture 47... possibly Bo Petersen (he looks tall) in front of John Davis Yes, but don't know about John Davis. 48 is Doug Wyer (going by the tassles on the leathers) Yes. 49 looks like a Leicester rider going by the jersey (red with yellow stripes) Yes, but who? 51 is Puff Daddy If you mean Bruce Penhall, then Yes.

Correct Steve, except it's Les Collins in pic. 18 not Peter.

That was pretty easy then grachan! Rider number 12 is Jiri Stancl father of George. Can't believe that commentators would keep repeating themselves years ago - thought this was just Tony Millard.

Glad you enjoyed looking at them. I've put some more on now but haven't listed the riders in case anyone wanted to have a guess who they are.

Mmmm...I've got quite a few of Bruce Penhall shirtless, but I don't like to mention his name because it encourages comments - - - - allegedly.

Who used to ride in the striped jersey's? Was it Southampton? I'm still trying to work out if this is a joke. Some more photos have been added if anyone wants to have a guess at the riders. I know who most of them are, but have not put any names in case there are any clever people out there want to have a go at guessing. http://community.webshots.com/user/hambolwen
