cyclone Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Did nobody take note of the number of '-' I put after the S, that was a bit of a clue,but it is very unusual and have never seen it before or since,would like to know the story behind it! Inspector Clouseau he note a 5 letter name which is unusual - how about Silas :?: mais oui ou mais non as they say in Franglais Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

DavyH Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 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.

Gemini Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
