Can anyone help me with information on Jack Dalton who was with New Cross in 1936 and 1937 and also rode for Bristol in the same period. I think he also rode at Luton in 1935.

Jack Dalton appeared in a couple of National League meetings for New Cross Lambs in 1934. In 1935 he was a regular member of the non-league Luton team before returning to New Cross the following season. Although he failed to make the Rangers side, he made 5 appearances for Provincial League side Cardiff followed by a further dozen meetings for Bristol. In 1937 he made 9 appearances for New Cross in what appears to have been his final year.

My dad knew his brother, Percy. He said he was nuts.


You may need to be a Londoner of a certain age to appreciate this.
