norbold Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 (edited) Don't think Sprouts Elder ever rode FOR West Ham. He was their entry in the 1929 Star Riders' Championship but star riders weren't allowed to ride in the league. After that he went off to Southampton. Given recent literary developments, I guess I ought to have a go at an all time Norwich team... 1. Ove Fundin 2. Aub Lawson 3. Bob Leverenz 4. Bert Spencer 5. Billy Bales 6. Olle Nygren (he gets around a bit!) 7. Max Grosskreutz Edited February 23, 2004 by norbold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz W Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 B.Penhall E. Gundersen G.Hancock B.Hamill B.Persson J Pedersen I Brown I think even i could be team manager of that lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowasthatberntpersson Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 B.PenhallE. Gundersen G.Hancock B.Hamill B.Persson J Pedersen I Brown I think even i could be team manager of that lot That team is more recent than others that have been mentioned too. Then there's the likes of Simon Wigg and to a lesser extent John Boulger and Anders Michanek all world class. In the last 30 years i reckon a fantasy team made up of Heathens would take some beating. Belle Vue look tasty over a longer period though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Belle Vue look tasty over a longer period though. And that's without Max Grosskreutz, Bill Kitchen, Louis Lawson, Ron Johnston, Soren Sjosten, Chris Morton.......Stop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanB Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Im relatively young (20) so cannot remember back in the days of the 60s but how about a Kings Lynn team Tony Rickardsson Jason Crump Leigh Adams Mark Loram Henka Gustafsson Terry Betts Michael Lee and probably a lot more who i cant think of at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 that team would be hard to beat, son.. i think you win the hooligan prize so far..depth and talent. great mix of new and old.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted February 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 would be interesting to work out the averages for some of these teams,using the riders best year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Rickardsson, Jason Crump, Phil Crump, Ronnie Moore, Ivan Mauger, Bruce Penhall and Mark Loram? only the old ones will agree on this.. consistent, team players, not hot and cold although depending on which, some like Mauger, and Phil Crump were prone to great meetings and terrible ones..still good balance between talent and getting stuck in..would be hard to beat even today... of course i did not take into consideration a huge clash of egos..i would pay good money to see them have a coin toss for gate positions.. heh heh..

DW Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Glasgow: 1.Steve Lawson 2. Ken McKinlay 3. Charlie Monk 4. Tommy Miller 5. Jim McMillan 6. Bobby Beaton 7. Brian Collins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave J Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 The best Bees team would be 1. Ole Olsen 2. Hans Nielsen 3. Kelvin Tatum 4. Greg Hancock 5. Tommy Knudsen 6. Andreas Jonsson 7. Billy Hammil (before he past his best before date). If only averages / gradings didn't exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbold Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 I'm not. I just thought it would be nice if a New Cross fantasy team consisted of New Cross riders, but maybe I'm old fashioned when it comes to this sort of thing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
