Hi ww, gotta say the only times I've seen Howard Cole mentioned in speedway literature he is always identified as English e.g. Maurice Jones book on the World Final- Howard Cole appeared in1969 and is shown as English. Bob Hughes interesting case -does anyone know where he was born??

I'm sure that Bob Hughes was Welsh, and thinking about, so was Ivor Hughes.

 

As I said, Bob, I never knew that Howard Cole was Welsh, but he was born in Cardiff.

PS Just thought of another Welshman - Phil Vance.

Is everybody named Hughes Welsh then-just like all Aussies are supposedly called Bruce. I can tell you of one Aussie who wasn't-Billy Hughes-Australian P.M. in WW1- and come to think of it he WAS Welsh. Not sure where I am going with this??
