waiheke1 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Cant argue with that side. but if you base the team on performance s for the aces rather than what they achieved elsewhere (and while not an ace): Then mighty mort would have to come in for fundin, who only had one season as an ace. for a british league era aces side (minimum 3 seasons): Mauger ross sjosten morton collins maidment pusey It's more than that, Ivan had 15.pretty sure it is individual only (exc long track):I make it 17 also? Mauger 6 fundin 5 crump 3 craven 2 collins 1? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucifer sam Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Wimbledon starts off ok... Ivan Mauger Barry Briggs Ronnie Moore Vic Huxley but falters a bit after that. Maybe Norman Parker Ron How Tommy Jansson But it's the 17/18 year-old Ivan, which isn't the same as the all-conquering version of Newcastle, Belle Vue, Exeter and Hull. IMO the seven should be riders in their prime for that club. Geoff Mardon, Wilbur Lamoreaux, Bob Andrews, Peter Moore and Olle Nygren were all top men for the Dons, and scored far more points for the club than Ivan. Or how about Cyril Brine - he won more club honours with the Dons (7 league championships and 7 National Trophies, just for starters) than any other rider with any other club. All the best Rob Edited February 6, 2015 by lucifer sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
