Ian made one World Final in 1957. His appearance created a new record by becoming the third brother to contest a World Final. He scored three points and came 14th. But he was a top man at Swindon in the late 50s and early 60s and was instrumental in Swindon winning the old National League in 1957 and breaking up Wimbledon's winning run.

John Langfield

Funny you named Langfield i wanted to ask if anyone remembered him!Don`t know if i ever saw him but always remember reports from Australia during the winter and people at the time(73 was when i started keeping programmes)saying he was one of the best riders not riding in the British League.Was he that good?If i remember correctly he only had a career average of about 6 points :unsure:

Interesting........ wonder if any other team can come up with a like team.

Plus we havnt mentioned Leigh Lanham,Savalas and a couple more.

 

Certainly Peter Moore and possibly Ray Cresp in the other team. B)

Local riders also included: Mick Hines, Trevor Jones, Ted Howgego, Dave Gooderham, Kevin Jolly, Andy Hines, Colin Cook, Nigel Flatman and Ben Howe.

 

I don't think many (if any) other teams can match that sort of home grown quality.

 

And, of course, even Billy Sanders, although Australian, started at Ipswich when he was only 16.

B) Yes as I said there are some others, but I dont think Ben Howe is one. He certainly lived in Crawley from around 1993 and Billy Saunders lived at Hadleigh about 10 miles from town. :blink:
