Did Joe Hicks, who came over to Glasgow in the mid 60's with Bruce Ovenden, ever turn out for the Tigers?

 

If not, he may have ridden for Fife Lions at Cowdenbeath. OK, not a league team, I know.

 

Anyone remember?

Nice one! Joe Hicks rode a total of six matches for Glasgow over a two year period. That makes it 113, and Reading's Max Amor and Stephen Rose (Swindon) take the total to 115.

Great minds must think alike, Ross!!

 

The name Les Moore came to me during the night. I opened to post it thid morning and there it was.

 

Les rode for Cardiff in 1951 and also at Shelbourne Park in Ireland in 1950.

 

He was also previously active in NZ in the late 1940s. He died in a big circuit car accident sometime in the late 1950s.

Les died shortly after his car crashed at Timaru on October 24, 1960.

 

I quote from the front page of the New Zealand Herald dated 25/10/1960: -

 

"Mr. Moore was the father of Ronnie Moore, former world champion speedway rider.

"The winner of the Wigram race on two occasions, Mr. Moore was competing in the second race of the day. He was thrown out as his R. A. Vanguard Special overturned at a corner."
