Chunky can I throw one into the works, someone who has just come to mind?

 

Glyn Chandler, or has he been mentioned elsewhere?

I think I did a quick check on Glyn, but I will have another look and see what I can find.

 

Thanks,

 

Steve

I know this is now an old thread and people are probably bored with it, but I only just came across it.

 

David Blackburn also rode for Berwick in the Conference League around 1996/7. But i don't recall him riding for either Reading or Workington, can anyone confirm this?

 

Also, Mark Loram has ridden for: Hackney, Ipswich, King's Lynn, Poole, Wolves, Bradford, Eastbourne, Exeter and Arena Essex which puts him on 9.

 

 

Where does Rick Miller come on the list? He rode for the following:

Coventry

 

:lol:

I think his first full season in speedway was at Derwent Park in 1981, no-brakes. Cant remember him riding for the Racers though.
