norbold Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Wimbledon (2) - Is neither Reg Luckhurst nor Gerry King; it's Norwich's John Debbage Yes, you're right. It is, of course, John Debbage. Sorry, I was put off by the photo being ascribed to a Wimbledon rider...but he does look like Gerry King!!!

WATigerman Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Cradley 76-1 We've already had this as Steve Bastable/Nigel Wasley but I thought it was Dave Perks; could be wrong though King's Lynn 74-1 Ian Turner ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyMac Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) Well done, chaps. Great work. Please keep 'em coming. Rather than update the corrected captions and move them to their appropriate club sections, I'll leave them in the 'Mystery' section for now, in case anyone wishes to offer other alternative opinions! We will be adding some of the older clubs' racejackets - (eg, New Cross, Harringay, Norwich, Southampton, etc) to the club section fairly soonish, so that pics of riders from those defuct tracks can be showcased. Many thanks for all your help. Edited January 14, 2009 by tmc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunky Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I agree with frigbo on Ian Ross, and I also think that the Wimbledon junior from 1976 is probably Ian Williams - obviously not the one who used to ride for Swindon!

BobC Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Ive enlisted the help of Poole press officer,Gordon Day.He has come up with the following. Poole 1- Liverpool rider Norman Murray Poole 3- The racejacket has white stripes on either sides which puts it at 1961 and the rider is Gordon Bailey ( he often wore a white jersey like Ivor Brown, I think he came over from the Channel Islands ) Poole 4- The two riders leaning on the safety fence are Cliff Newton ( left ) and John Pitman ( right ) who rode for Vic Gooden’s juniors. It could even have been taken at Poole. The year would be 1958, the only year that Cliff rode for Poole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
