The middle one is the greatest rider Wimbledon ever had.

You mean that IS Terry Mussett???

Seriously, this is sad, isn't it?

Back to the pic, and there will be more "shocks" if gustix can't get the guy next to Haggis. Perhaps the greatest all-round motorcyclist ever.

Sorry no idea!

Was a crying shame when the Dons failed to find a way into the 1990 British League. Not only did we lose Todd to Reading but also Russell Lanning (who had done an amazing job as Promotor over the previous 2 seasons) quit Speedway in disgust. 
 

Apparently we were lining up Martin Dugard, Andy Galvin and other fantastic up and coming riders...

Any chance the Poster can cut-and-paste the names of those in the photo please? That's apart from dear old Bert Harkins!

Apart from Bert, Ronnie Moore and Ivan Mauger I see Trevor Hedge

Chunky, returning to the photo, is the gentleman sitting on the left Vic Gooden, our old Team Manager?

That's right! Hence the clues I was giving John...

Dingle Brown, Pete Wigley, Alf Hagon and Archie Windmill at a guess.

Yep. I don't think gustix would remember Pete Wigley riding for us. He should know Dingle...

a lot of people will recognise this lovely man

What a lovely, lovely fella. I have a photo of Ken and my dad (and the rest of the Wimbledon team) with Ronnie and Jill at the 1959/60 London Speedway Supporters Club Dart League presentation.
