Guest Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Two candidates for this side are the 1940s brothers Jack 'Crash A Day' Cooley and his brother Len. Jack rode post-war for New Cross, West Ham and Bristol, while Len had a spell at Rayleigh. Edited January 31, 2015 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Harding was born in East Ham but then as you point out lived at Canvey Island. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vic_Harding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Another IoD team candidate is Fred Taylor, a neighbour of Jack and Len Cooley, who rode in one match for New Cross at the start of the 1946 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
