salty Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Crayford 83-1 is Trevor Barnwell I reckon and I would also go with Mike Spinks for the second action shot. The other fella i haven't a clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other fella i haven't a clue. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â I thought it might have been Trevor, but no idea on the others. Â As far as the Hackney ones, 85-2 looks like Mike Fitzpatrick, and I'm sure that 85-3 is Gary Rolls. I'm thinking you will find that the other two (84-1 and 85-4) will be more Paul Whittaker.

speedwayplus Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 A quick bit of detective work with Peter Oakes' 1978 yearbook tells me that Glasgow 77-1 must be Rob Hamman. The same rider appears in the 1977 team picture on the site. The give-away is the absence of both Derek Richardson and Benny Rourke from the side (though Benny is pictured in overalls). The only meeting they both missed was at Ellesmere Port on 5th April and the team for that meeting was made up by Rob - making his one and only appearance for Glasgow.

Milton Keynes - Robbie Vigus Newcastle 2 - Fairly certain that its Bobby Duncan too. Think I should know the Ipswich and Kings Lynn ones but can't recall the names at the minute.

salty Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 The first Reading rider (1981) is Mark Leslie ?. The '85 Peterboro' pic is Ian Barney I think, but not sure it is the right year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
