Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Right, I have a list (not that big...) of riders I've seen over the years whose first names I have no record of... Might as well start with a real hard 'un. Saw him in the second haldf at Iwade in the short-lived BL Div 3 days of the Kent Crusaders...; rider's name M. Lancaster... Anyone know full name and any other details..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I'll try going a bit further back then - and this time the surname could be wrong too! August 1976 at Arlington, second half of an Eastbourne vs. Crayford match... G. Benfold...? Anyone know details (first name; if that surname's right..?) for this one..?

lucifer sam Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Parsloes, these are too difficult. Can you make them easier? Something like M. Burrows, rode for Wimbledon between 2003 and 2005. Then I'd be able to help you. All thebest Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Benfield was a regular second halfer at Weymouth in 1977. Not sure where else he rode or when but I seem to remember that he came from the Southampton area.

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Second half rider at Boston in 1976... Have it down as Alan Mouth in my programme... Would that be correct..? And at Crayford in a 1976 NNL meeting the Paisley number 7 was a P. Cornwall. But that name's NOT listed in The History of the BL as riding for Paisley that year.. Can anyone shed light on that one?

Red Panda Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 1977 yearbook suggests there was a Phil Cornwell rode for Peterborough at Crayford in 1976 but there is nothing to do with a P Cornwall and Paisley...........Phil scored 3 +1 in his only meeting for them...............

Guest Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Parseloes, Talking of unidentified riders, at Plough Lane you often referred to the "Widnesian Whirlwind" in your prog notes but I can't recall any riders from that RL hotbed..

Wise words, oh pro one! Though the rider concerned once told me he'd travelled around that Cheshire town searching for a statue of his good self, in the knowledge he was apparently revered as a favourite son!!
