KevH Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 John rode for Kings Lynn in 1969 & 1970. Was he English? Does anyone know his d.o.b? Can anyone recall anything about him? Many thanks if anyone can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star ghost Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 John Ingamells was one of the Kings Lynn Reserve side who probably broke all records with the number of riders called up to complete a season in British League Division Two. I do not think John rode for any other team after his efforts for the Starlets in that traumatic season. He was English, I think. My Kings Lynn Story "Forty Years" by Martin Rogers is not handy but it says about John somewhere in it I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin king Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Thanks very much Star Ghost. Still looking for his d.o.b. if anyone can help, please? That is a cracking name, did they have a Stan Skegness riding for them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star ghost Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Funnily enough the first ever "Butlins" was at a place called INGAMELLS and not Skegness as everybody would have it believed. A bit like the story of who invented Speedway really..................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
