KIWIPIRATE Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 In days past, many riders were known to sport a distinctive neckerchief – perhaps an affectation, or to stop an influx of shale down the inside of leathers that weren’t quite made to measure… Ronnie Moore, of course Barry Briggs – the classic red and white polka dot model ISTR Ivan Mauger – a black/white check thing, during his Newcastle days anyway Bert Harkins – a tartan job, of course Colin Gooddy – another red & white man Sverre Harrfeldt Christer Lofqvist Scott Autrey – for that dreamy cowboy look…. Any others, past or present? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 Aub Lawson. He had a chequered neckerchief which used to stream out behind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False dawn Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 Neil Collins is the only one I know who has always worn one and is still riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 Charlie Barsby, but this was so long ago I don't suppose anyone even remembers him. :-( Ah! Memories of my teenage years and him being my favourite rider and all that. Local lad made good in the Leicester Hunters team, blond, handsome. Gosh I must keep calm as I have got to go and have my blood pressure tested in a couple of hours..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowasthatberntpersson Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 The late Chris Pusey wore one. Of course Neil Collins carries on the tradition. I've also got a great shot of Ole Olsen wearing one during his Wolverhampton days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom House Kid Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 I asked Ove once why he only used a scarf whilst everyone else used face masks and scarfs. He said,"To be honest I did not expect to get that much dirt thrown at me". Thats brilliant he must have been quick out of the gate from 20yds back or perhaps he kept a safe distance !
