Just wanted to jump in before anyone else did! I thought he was a very underrated rider, hampered by injury. He impressed me at Plough Lane.

Okay, there are a few I can't find birthdates for, most notably a bunch of Russians, plus Gunnar Malmqvist, and Hans-Jurgen Fritz. Plus, does anyone know if Arne Carlsson is still with us (he was born in 1939)? I edited my post above to include a couple of pre-1941 births I had omitted (Larsson, Enecrona, and Wyglenda). Here are the remaining births from the 1940's: Bengt Jansson - 09/01/1943 Anders Michanek - 30/05/1943 Trevor Hedge - 30/08/1943 Terry Betts - 15/09/1943 Howard Cole 29/12/1943 Martin Ashby - 05/02/1944 Jan Simensen - 26/07/1944 Zygfryd Friedek - 19/10/1944 Jerzy Trzeszkowski - 10/01/1945 Eric Boocock - 02/02/1945 Tony Lomas - 10/05/1945 John Boulger - 18/06/1945 Hasse Holmqvist - 18/06/1945 Jim McMillan - 03/12/1945 Soren Karlsson - 23/10/1946 Ole Olsen - 16/11/1946 Ray Wilson - 12/03/1947 Doug Wyer - 16/08/1947 Egon Muller - 26/11/1948 Christoph Betzl - 13/02/1949 Jiri Stancl - 18/11/1949 Viktor Kuznetsov - 27/11/1949

Nah, Andy Buck had him beat...

No. Brian Collins the former webmaster.

I can vouch for that; he posts frequently on FB.

I know what you mean. Brian and I used to message each other, but the last I heard from him was 2005. I never met him, but he seemed a really good guy.

You know, it scared me when I realised that we're already getting down to riders like Jim Airey and John Louis...

Okay, looks like I need to apologise; it appears that Doug is no longer with us, although I can't find anything official.

Here are the next few... Aage Hansen - 13/04/1935 Gote Nordin - 02/07/1935 Bob Andrews - 27/10/1935 Reg Luckhurst - 11/11/1935 Doug Davies - 06/08/1936 Sverre Harrfeldt - 23/11/1937 Leif Larsson - 16/02/1938 Rick France - 12/07/1938 Leif Enecrona - 05/03/1940 Andrzej Wyglenda 04/05/1941 John Louis - 14/06/1941 Jim Airey - 19/08/1941

The only thing I could find was when he scored 9 paid 10 against Exeter...

Sounds about right...

Andersson - Jan, Bjorn, Bengt, Stefan, Ake, Dennis, Joel, Eric, Daniel, Marcus, Jonas... Andersen - Jan, Frank, Brian, Kasper, Hans, Morten, Anders...

Oops! Should have remembered Roger!

Struggling at the moment. Have Jack, Norman, Dennis, Len, and Shane...

Good call...

That's what I had!

Jensen - Finn, Jesper, Mikkel Bech, Michael Jepsen, Rasmus, Steen, Claes... Johansson - Tommy, Uno, Lillebror, Tobias, Stefan, Robert, Jorgen...

I can only think of five, off the top of my head..

Not necessarily to the same strength, but other names that could field teams are: Smith - Pete, Pete, Peter, Alan, Don, Frank, Graeme, Kevin, Scott, Scott, Mike, Andy, Paul... Jackson - Alan, Dave, Dave, John, Peter, Wayne, Rob, Gerry... Brown - Wayne, Allan, Dingle, Malcolm, Tom, Max, Walter... White - Vic, Keith, Colin, Doug, Jon Jon, Phil, George... Wilson - Ray, Reg, Ian, John, Guy, Des, Sean, Steve...

Three world Finalists...

Not unique... The Dugards had Charlie, John, Bob, Eric, Martin, Paul, and Kelsey.

Tommy's dad Joel, and Bengt's brother Lars would be the next two in line, followed by Tommy's brother Bo. Then Jimmy and Kim...

Ray, Garry, James, and Mick for a start...

Eric was 1930's at Wimbledon, and Mark was early 80's at Stoke and Nottingham.

Williams - Fred, Eric, Ian, Peter, John, John J, Keith, Ian (Wimbledon junior)' See above...
