I make it one more letter than you Ian2, but the last one was an "e" which didn't look quite right when written down anyway.

 

I hope that hasn't given too much away. :lol:

Thought this was easy - just had to re-read the history of the speedway hoskins....obviously not a complete history as middle name is not mentioned!!

 

Apart from that, what an excellent wee book. - I can still picture Ian Hoskins in the centre of Old Meadowbank winding up the crowd....circa 1964....was just a boy - honest. :)

OK - Here's the answer as researched by Eric Linden and published in the Speedway Star in 1994.

 

John STARKE Hoskins.

 

Bugga Kev thought you had forgotten and my dad has just come home and as soon as he came in the door I was straight on him and he told me the answer straight away! Good though kept us guessing all week ty xx

Nothing to do with Speedway, but if anyone wants to have a guess at ex Goalie Bob Wilson's middle name it begins with P. Bet this won't last as long as Kevin's. :)
