So Helge Langli Brother of Tormod I assume?  Uncle Eddie,  what of our superstar Jonas? Never heard of him.

 

Good pics by the way. Ah, the good old days!

 

 

 

Eddie is, indeed, the Uncle of Swindon's Major GP Star Jonas.

 

I've added another one. Who is the Hackney rider? I'm assured it's easy, but I can't get it!

Gaaa!! See, I thought to myself, looks a bit like Mike Broadbank. No, I did. Honestly. Did he ride for Hackney then? Never knew that. Last I remember of him he was at Stoke. Well there's a thing.

So is Uncle Eddie also Daniels uncle??!!! :D:blink:

 

No doubt about it being Broady riding for Hackney it was only for one season I think, he was at the recent Hackney re-union, pictures can be found HERE

 

 

 

Broady must have been the only rider still using a JAP in the British League at that time . :shock:

I'll believe ya!

 

Broadie rode for Hackney in 75 after his Stoke spell. Finished at Crayford and Newport in 76 and 77.

 

Now, where's my anorak?

There's a couple more there now. Oxford v Belle Vue (the rider on the outside for BV might by a tricky one. I got it, though, because I'm dead clever me) and an Eastbourne rider, who I can't identify.

It is Russ Hodgson. I now know who the Eastbourne rider is. It's not Roger Johns. Someone still involved with the sport today.

Started to have another look at the few hundred I took from the 70's. Can anyone help with these? I'll post some more when I can get some others scanned in. All taken at Lynn though a few might appeal to Leicester and Ipswich fans.

I think that the one second to last from bottom on the right, the rider that has been filled in with dirt is Billy Saunders. Can anyone confirm.?

 

I have done a few more and one includes what looks like Kenny Carter but in a Cradley race bib. Could that be possible.?? :blink: Will post some more later.

May be wrong, but the Kings Lynn rider second from bottom could be Peter Collins or Chris Morton.

 

Kings Lynn rider in the first picture - David Gagen??

 

Just guesses though.

Here's my shouts:

 

Top left Ian Turner (?) / David Gagen

Top right Alan Wilkinson

2nd down on left - ??? / David Gagen

3rd down on left - Finn Jensen

3rd on right - Neil Collins (?) / Finn Jensen

4th left - Dave Jessup

4th right - no idea but no way Billy Sanders; Les Collins ??

5th left - Ian Turner ??

 

:)

 

Not bad from a Sheffield fan ???
