waiheke1 Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Tbf the criteria was having appeared on the rostrum of the British final, not simply best British riders not to have won. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WembleyLion Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I think the late Lee Richardson would be worthy of consideration even though his British Final record might not have been on a par with his other achievements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Roy trigg for me. Finished third in the first british final I attended at west ham in 1970. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E I Addio Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 No Cyril Maidment ? A podium finish puts him in the frame and 22 caps for his country, says he is more deserving than at least 5or 6 on the list, and I would bank on him scoring about 7 or 8 in the theoretical final.

GiveusanL Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Regarding McKinlay, Boocock and How, I am influenced by the quality of their opposition in British Finals and the fact that McKinlay qualified for 8 world finals (plus 3 as reserve), with Boocock appearing in 9 world finals (plus 2 as reserve). Ron How rode in 6 world finals and would probably have qualified for more had his career not been ended by injury in 1965. His 'hobby' was also defeating Ove Fundin on a regular basis. Ken's world final appearances spanned 12 seasons and Nigel's record covered 17 seasons. Sorry for joining in late, McKinlay qualified for 9 World Finals plus 3 as reserve, Boocock 8 plus 2.
