teesider Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve19620 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 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 !

StevePark Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teesider Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
