Scored 1. Probably a Dons junior who stood in for the meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevH Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 (edited) I believe Colin Clark passed away on 29/12/1979, and Brian Craven in April 1993. I had no idea Derek Cook is no longer with us, he was a great little rider in his day. Edited March 2, 2008 by KevH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 (edited) Geoff Curtis was killed on December 15 1973 at Sydney Showground (assuming he died there and not later). (I'm guessing you already knew that, though, and really wanted his birth details). Edited March 3, 2008 by Grachan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinkox Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Nope, definitely not Rode Wimbledon away 1971. Scored 1. Probably a Dons junior who stood in for the meeting. There was a Dons junior with this name around this period. I think the Steve of the famous Collins' family would have been too young anyway . . .

iris123 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 There was a Steve Collins riding second halfs at New Cross back in 1963.Wonder if this is the same rider who was doing second halfs at Wimbledon in the 70s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOBBATH Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Surely Graham Coombes isn't dead-he's real young-sorry to see Brian Craven died at a very youing age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunky Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Surely Graham Coombes isn't dead-he's real young-sorry to see Brian Craven died at a very youing age If he is still alive, he would have to be well in his sixties at least.

Guest Schumi Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Is this the Scott Campos you're after? If so, his place and date of birth are on his profile page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunky Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 If "Ian Clarke" is Ian Clark of Peterborough/MK etc fame, then it is December 23, 1958, in Sandon, Essex. Bev Compton was born on March 29, 1976, in Roodeport, South Africa. Scott Cook was born on May 1, 1965, in Musselburgh, Scotland. Graham Coombes was born in 1940 (no date) in Auckland, New Zealand.

KevH Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 If "Ian Clarke" is Ian Clark of Peterborough/MK etc fame, then it is December 23, 1958, in Sandon, Essex. And if it's Ian Clarke who rode for Reading and Stoke in 1998, it's 13/07/1981 - Edgeware, Middlesex, England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBBATH Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Frigbo-this is v. interesting-it sounds like people have died that I was unaware of-do you plan to post this data when done-I realise it must be a massive job-names there I haven't thought of for years e.g. Fred Collier.Is it true that Col Cottrell has passed away??

frigbo Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Bobbath, It certainly was my intention to web this lot, as well as Spreadsheets I have with the result and individual scores from every League match. Problem is I made a start but haven't had time to do any more. I'm more than willing to let someone take it on if they have the inclination.
