flying scotsman Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 ....Mike Wilson ..... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Didn't Mikes Brother also ride, I'm thinking Darren but I might be wrong? I seem to recall that he took part in a World Championship round when the quailified New Zealand rider withdrew from the meeting. He was the only other person at the track that day with the right license and a bike, so he got into the meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Wright <{POST_SNAPBACK}> NOT kiwis - Jimmy Tannock and Doug Templeton. Scottish moset certainly. What about Cliff Watson though - was he a kiwi or and Aussie? Good rider at West Ham in mid-1940s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) Was it James Moore or James Moor? I have a speedway star article on him and it states his name is James Timu-te-kere-Herini Moor Also have an article on Mitch Shirra before he came over stating he was the son of a former Glasgow rider.Looked in the British League book and can't find anyone called Shirra only a Shearer.But Mitch's father is called Tommy and the other guy isn't so bit of a mystery and anyway was Shirra's father a Scot,Australian or New Zealander if he did ride here?

norbold Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Cliff Watson was a New Zealander. Born in Christchurch. However he had his first rides at Sydney and rode for Australia in Test matches...He was a bit like Ronnie Moore in reverse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyguy Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Ray Thackwell who later turned to big circuit car racing. But please, NOT Jimmy Tannock and Doug Templeton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 CDick Campbell ??? Why have you got ??? after Dick Campbell - he was definitely a Kiwi - unlike Jimmy Tannock and Doug Templeton who were both Scottish.

speedyguy Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Neil AbrahamsCliff Anderson Bob Andrews John Goodall Robert Price Roy Trigg <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wasn't Roy Trigg - like Bob Andrews - a Londoner before becoming a kiwi?

norbold Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Yes. He spent his racing career in Britain as British before moving to New Zealand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunky Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Wasn't Roy Trigg - like Bob Andrews - a Londoner before becoming a kiwi? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The big difference, I think you'll find, is that Roy remained English UNTIL he moved to New Zealand (quitting the British scene), whereas Bob had represented New Zealand for several years while still racing in the UK. Therefore, I don't think that Roy could be classed as a New Zealander racing in Britain. The same could be same of Tommy Sweetman, assuming he did become a naturalized New Zealander...
