stevehone Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Nigel's career was Crayford, Kings Lynn, Milton Keynes, Long Eaton, Oxford, Middlesbrough and Rye House. A prodigy of Barry Thomas RIP <{POST_SNAPBACK}> and Wimbledon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asturmer Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Mervjankefanclub, great shout there for little Guy Wilson, how could I forget him? Immensely popular at Workington, fantastic out and out trier and top personality too. I will let Guy know he had a mention. Guy was winning the Weste rn Australian state championship until about 4 years ago. He is still helping in the pits at meetings and just as enthusiastic about the sport!!

fatface Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Richard Green and Alan Mogridge absolute musts. Les Collins was also always great value, as was Martin Goodwin. Another fella I remember is the French rider Thierry Hilaire, I think he rode for Milton Keynes? He was a bit of a nutter, but always gave 100%.

westhamboy66 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) Marvyn Cox Jack Millen in the NL because he was simply the best entertainer I have ever seen on a track (though not always on his bike) Kelvin Mullarkey the slowest rider ever to constantly win races Kerry Gray Andrew Silver Shane Parker Edited July 2, 2007 by westhamboy66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Sorry, if I'm late with my 'entry' but in all the names mentioned I can't see Carl Askew...and he was always worth the admission at Crewe alone whenever Birmingham were down. But for me the greatest 'character' of all was Mad jack Millen (RIP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
