Middlesbrough Tigers 1987

Can anyone help regards the Middlesbrough Tigers team line - up 1987 ?

 

Mark Burrows is the only Rider I know of wearing the NL 4 Team champions 1985 - 86 Race Jacket

 

the reason I ask is that I have this race jacket in a frame and would like to add the names that would have worn this at the time ...

 

if it helps it also has a badge showing Coventry Competion

 

Cheers Ron

I have had a look at the 1987 team picture printed in the Speedway Star at time but the team numbers were printed on the back of the racejaceket. However, a look inside the Star confirms that Peter McNamara was the wearer of this racejacket in the away meeting at Milton Keynes. At least it a start !

The following riders all rode for Middlesbrough in 1987 in official matches (sorry, but it doesn't include guests!):-

 

Martin Dixon, Mark Fiora, Steve Wilcock, Ian Atkinson, Peter McNamara, Ashley Norton, Andrew Buck, Mark Burrows, Geoff Pusey, David Holiday and Tracy Bray.

 

The above taken from 'The Complete History of the British League' book.

 

No idea if this helps, though!

brilliant info cheers.... helps a lot

 

my only concern now is that craig boyce first rode for poole 1988 his first u.k club as far as i can make out

 

but have no reason to doubt author of original statement "Middlesbrough Tigers 1987?, World team select (worn by Craig Boyce, Ipswich Witches (was used for guest riders)" as this is who i bought the jacket from

 

so any futher clarification on this would be great
