Gene Woods had a short spell at Birmingham and Wimbledon and Christian never ventured over here i think he might of nearly signed for Sheffield once though.?

Now you've mentioned it, that seems to ring a bell, although I don't know what stage talks got to. Round about the time we were meant to be signing Keith Chrisco from Birmingham, I think he (Chrisco) had agreed terms and then decided about a week before the start of the season that he was going to stay in the States.

Ake Andersson of Glasgow 1968 and Lars-Ake Andersson were not the same person.

 

My 5, in no particular order:

Igor Plechanov

Boris Samorodov

Mieczyslaw Polukard

Andrzej Pogorzelski

Andrzej Wyglenda

ok. That's the confusion. cheers

Think a mention for Wieslaw Jagus is missing.Was a bit erratic in his GP season,but made a few semi finals and one final.Bit unfashionable,but could possibly be placed in the top 5 instead of another Pole?I woud definitely have Boris and Igor,just for the names alone

Can remember the Chrisco speculation and he would of been a very good rider i think a very exciting rider.

Of course, Poland are a dominant nation these days, turning out a constant stream of class riders. Even back in the 50's and 60's, there were a fair number of Poles who - I feel - could have graced the British scene - including Marian Rose, Wlodzimierz Zwendrowski, Edmund Migos, Edward Kupczynski, Zbigniew Podlecki, Joachim Maj, and Konstanty Pociejkowicz.
