Andre Pollen

Carl Baldwin second time around

??? Osborne

Freddie Erikson

Doolan because he was meant to be number 1

had completely forgotten about Pollen!

 

Agree that would have to go with Doolan if picking by position.

 

Andy Nightingale (sorry Andy!)

Out of respect to professional people who tried, but maybe never came up to expectations, I refuse to name any just for your personal gratification and obvious need to get a life.

You forgot to mention Kevin Wolbert

Though being serious, like yourself I find it hard to criticise any rider as it takes some guts to do their job.Also in many cases it's wrong team/track at the wrong time.

any man who puts his wedding tackle on a small seat and rides a bike with no brakes gets my vote for being a super hero. there are no bad riders in this sport., just lucky ones who get a living out of it. this thread is worse than some of the ones i have started, and there has been a few.

how about one for the worst topic started..

 

p.s. there is a job going at kawasaki racing. applicants can contact tom sykes at quacker H.Q. asap

That's certainly the case with Ross Brady. An 8 point rider before he suffered a terrible head injury. When we signed him I was optomistic, but he had clearly lost his bottle, shutting off half way down the straights. In hindsight I'm ashamed of how he was treated by some Rockets fans.

Got a paid maximum in his first meeting for us, a challenge v Somerset at home. Threatened to come good but never did, was a shame. He's in my 7 because he was bad for us, no two ways about it. Just like some of the others there's no doubting they were good riders in their time just didn't click at Rye.

Glasgow could have several teams but how about:

 

Corey Blackman

Lee Smethills

Jamie Courtney

Robin Tornqvist

Craig Watson

Jamie Birkenshaw

Simon Cartwright

 

Craig Watson was signed as a replacement for the mis-firing George Stancl and went straight into the PL Pairs and did well. Unfortunately that was his only significant moment, being truly awful at Ashfield. In true Glasgow luck he returned the following season with Birmingham and rattled up double figure scores.
