My bad, I mean the uncaptioned item. Sorry...

It's Ken Archer, Bob. He was longtime Pit Marshal at Wimbledon, Hackney, and White City, and a great friend. Sadly, he passed away a few months ago, Yes, the other one is Mike.

Here is the pic I was talking about, with my dad (with the beard), Ken Archer (between my dad and Jill), and Ronnie and Jill Moore.

So, you okay with the team pic now everyone has been identified, John?

What a lovely, lovely fella. I have a photo of Ken and my dad (and the rest of the Wimbledon team) with Ronnie and Jill at the 1959/60 London Speedway Supporters Club Dart League presentation.

Yep. I don't think gustix would remember Pete Wigley riding for us. He should know Dingle...

That's right! Hence the clues I was giving John...

And next to him, a man with a great reputation on the internationale scene...

Back to the pic, and there will be more "shocks" if gustix can't get the guy next to Haggis. Perhaps the greatest all-round motorcyclist ever.

You mean that IS Terry Mussett??? Seriously, this is sad, isn't it?

Sorry, STILL a spelling error...

Yup...

No disrespect, John, but it IS sad. Really, really sad. Particularly when I told you...

King Haroldt...

If gustix doesn't recognise him, it would be a major shock. More to the point, he should know the guy in the middle at the front. The guy at bottom left was a good'un too...

I think you'll find it was Neil who used Barry as a launching pad, or as Mike Patrick said, "Neil Cameron climbing all over Barry Crowson"! Personally, I thought Neil could have gone on to better things. All he had to do was stay on the bike for four laps (assuming he didn't go through the tapes) a little more often. As has been said, after leaving Plough Lane, he wasn't the same.

You know, Chris impressed me when I saw him, and I thought he had some real potential.

I wonder if Steve was thinking of Pat Pawson? He was a Kiwi...

He was an Aussie, but was born in Derby, I believe.

Do you not think that I have the "needed qualifications" to write and comment on the club? Or iris123? Do we have to bow to your superiority - even when we know that WE are right, and you are just trying to dismiss what we say?

It seems like you are trying to convince everyone that Terry Mussett never rode for Wimbledon, and that this all some elaborate hoax that we've conjured up in an effort to fool you! It's not! Whether you remember him or not is irrelevant; he rode for us! Why the hell you would make that comment about seeking info on him on a FB group is beyond me...

This is a thread called "Wimbledon Memories", which - I believe - is a place to share your memories of Wimbledon speedway. It is NOT a place where you come to deliberately provoke others, others who have a long-time and GENUINE knowledge and love of Wimbledon speedway (unlike yourself). Is it really to much to expect you to act like a normal person, and post stuff you like, and ask questions to which you really don't know the answers? Most of the people on the BSF are intelligent enough to engage in regular conversation without you trying to stir things up...

Didn't Ho Chi Miny Waln ride for the Dons in the 30's?

So it wasn't just me that was sitting there scratching my head when I saw that one??? Yet another bizarre comment, eh?

I really thought Ali was going to have a long and successful career...
