Split Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 As a New Cross fan now living in South Africa I would loved to have seen Tom Farndon and Henry Long ride. I did see Doug Davies though who was a South African riding for New Cross so he met both criteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'd say just because of his 'world titles' in Paris,that Claude Rye should be included.Because of his motorcycle shop it might also be a bit easier and cheaper to find some memorabilia?

Guest compost Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 You might want to consider - Arthur Jervis, Aub Lawson (as you said up to 1948 not just pre-war), Bill Kitchen, Squib Burton, George Wilks, Gus Kuhn, Joe Francis, Syd (or Sid) Jackson, Tommy Price & Wal Phillips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E I Addio Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Bil Longley , (New Cross and Odsal pre 1948,) captained the Australian test team for a while so deserves to be in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
