speedyguy Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I think the Edinburgh rider was JOE Lasanga - not JACK! I know that he rode in Spain at one-time in the 1950s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyguy Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 (edited) Joe Lasanga was a member of a group taken to race in Spain by Ted Gibson, an English rider. I will have to check this out in my records and come back later. Another Australian Rusty Wainwright may have been on this tour.

Ross Garrigan Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I think Alan Rivett is New Zealnder no Australian. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Alan came from New Zealand but has resided in Australia for a number of years. He has represented both New Zealand and Australia. He is now living in South East Queensland. I have some great memories of him racing at the Brisbane Exhibition Grounds.

czechhero Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 We had an Aussie at Brum around 74-5 called Terry Brett. The original full throttle sheep farmer, He had sold his farm to fund a crack at speedway but was, well, hopeless. He'd coast down the straights and whack the throttle wide open on the bends. I think that Perry Barr was a bit on the tight side for him, maybe he should have joined Crewe. I don't think he rode any league matches though. Anyone else remember him?

norbold Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 (edited) Junior Bainbridge is Ron Bainbridge We've also discussed Cliff Watson's nationality at some length!

norbold Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 (edited) Bob Kilby is English Bob Sharp is an Australian. He rode for Ipswich in the old National League. Dick Wise was an Australian. He rode for - and managed - Norwich. I don't think Triss Sharp was an Australian, though I am not 100% sure. He was Crystal Palace captain in 1929 and continued to ride for them until 1933. He owned a motor business in South London. Sig Schlam rode in Britain, but I'm not sure if he was attached to any league teams.

chunky Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I have had list of australian riders who propably have never rode in Britian (leagues). However this list maybe remind you some of riders who rode in Britian. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> OK Puma, here we go again... Ted Agall is already listed as TED ARGALL. Greg Barlett is GREG BARTLETT, already listed. Unless there is a Danny, Danny Branford is DARREL BRANFORD. Troy Butchelor is actually TROY BATCHELOR, already listed. Coventry's Bryan Elliot (spelt ELLIOTT) was English. Bob Foy is probably ROBBIE FOY, already listed. Hec Heslinger is really HEC HASLINGER, who was an Austrian (already listed) who rode on an Australian license. Bob Hunphrey MUST be BOB HUMPHREYS, already listed. We've had arguments about Bill Landels, but he did actually represent Australia. Tony Landgon has got to be TONY LANGDON, already listed. Brent Nott is indeed an Australian, but I'm sure he never rode league in Britain. Paul O'Neil, did ride in Britain, but as a New Zealander, and is listed as such. Kevin O'Connell was actually an Englishman living in Australia, but as far as I know, never rode league in Britain. Kevin died after a crash at Adelaide in 1985. The late, great Dent Oliver was most definitely English. 1936 World Finalist Bill Pitcher was also English. Bob Roger, one of the famous brothers, was English. Incidentally, Bob won the Wimbledon Christmas Vase at Plough Lane, staged on Boxing Day (December 26 for the uninitiated), 1956. Sean Willmott (Weymouth, Hackney, Bradford etc) is English. HOWEVER... Warren Hawkins is correct; he rode for Crewe. H. Tapscott is HAROLD TAPSCOTT, already mentioned here without being confirmed. I can confirm that, being born in Melbourne in 1917, he should be on the list. For further information, check out www.haroldtapscott.com. West Ham's Cliff Watson should be listed. Dave (Davey) Watt should also be listed, because I personally submitted him! Despite being born in Yorkshire, Guy Wilson is a West Australian who spent several seasons in British league speedway.

chunky Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 (edited) ...and some more... Triss Sharp was indeed English. Russell Hrrison is listed under RUSSELL (RUSTY) HARRISON. Lionel Lecy should be LIONEL LEVY (already listed). Buck Ryan is already listed under KEITH RYAN. Checking the last full list: Brett Woodfield is WOODIFIELD and Steve Reinki is REINKE. Jimmy Ryman was usually known as JIM. Steve Edited April 5, 2006 by chunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry Steve, I was going by the list "Puma23 Posted Today, 04:42 PM" .........Graham Stewart is a name that Steve Regeling put up .... I bet he's right Craig Featherby who rode for the KLstars in the 80's.. Who is not Clive from the 60's KLteam, although the 60's Clive moved to aussie in the 70's....Clive of the 80's was killed at Peterborough in 83, his brother is a promotor over here Clive, but it's not Clive of the 60's ..... I thought they were from aussieland ...... would they be the son's on the 60's Clive? .......... Regards. PS. Glenn McDonald.

cyclone Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 (edited) Nigel Alderton definitely did ride for Edinburgh - he started in the UK , the same time as Jason Lyons first rode for Glasgow. Has anyone mentioned Brian Nixon who rode for Glasgow at Shawfield in the 90s. ? Edited April 5, 2006 by cyclone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
