Riders You Would Like To See Discussed


Recommended Posts

Some greats from the 2nd tier of racing would do me, Arthur Price, Arthur Browning, Roger Mills, Lou Sansom, Taffy Owen, Tony Childs not forgetting the best for me John Jackson.

What about Bruce Forrester and Dave Durham Whiteliner?

I would like to read about the jockey turned speedway rider Ralph Horne, Belle Vue, Coventry, Sheffield, Wigan and Belfast. Or/and Red Hamley, Bradford and Wombwell. Their era was the late 1940s.

EDIT: I have found this brief Link re Red Hamley - more information would be appreciated:

Indeed Jim Tebby. A very distinctive Rider for Wimbledon if my memory serves me correctly. :t::approve: :approve:

With a mention about Jim Tebby's rider-father and mechanic Stan Tebby, who rode both speedway and grass track in the late 1940s to the early 1970s. I think Stan's bike is a showpiece item at the London Motorcycle Museum?

In his time, Stan also acted as a spanner-man at various times for Ron How, Danny Dunton and Roy Bowers.

Thank you for that MR. :t::approve::) :)

Besides his speedway exploits, John Reason was also a keen follower of Coventry City FC and was a director. In racing, he was also a leading midget car driver circa 1951 and 1952.

John Reason's brother Pete also rode for Coventry - mainly as I recall in the mid 1950s.
