chunky Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Who is G.Goodwin ? Not sure I know the name "Goodwin", but there was Geoff GODWIN. He rode for Middlesbrough and Cradley in the 1940's, and retired in 1950 at the age of 45. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunky Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Just did a little more research, and found that it was Gerald Goodwin, who also had second-half outings at Bradford that year. Must admit, I'd never heard of him until now. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmet Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 dlprezes, You have to be aware that in these years, - early '60s - , EVERY British rider with a speedway bike got a chance in the World Championship. This could include reserves/novices at a track who would fill in for absentees or injuries on the night. We also had a Qual.Rd. at Rye House when it was just a training track for non-league riders. So there will be names that no one except the local fans had heard of or seen, and may never have made it to league-rider status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
