WalterPlinge Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 A Youngster who did a dozen or more meetings for Newcastle in 1979/80, Paul Brown is just one letter and a slight rearrangement away from Paul Bowen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you thought/considered that it may/was nothing related to this thread? In which case there would have been no reason to leave it standing. Next query please! And how do you know the Post was not taken down by a Mod if there had been another Member's REPORT in regard to it? You don't - you are just surmising that I used the HIDE facility! With respect, your posts aren't usually reportable, its just the bone headedness of them that probably is. I'm trying to think of a name or two to contribute as i know deviation from threads upsets you John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunky Posted February 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Following Mr. Plinge's tactic of rearranging letters, Aussie Mick Powell was preceded by Mike Powell, who rode one match for Newport in 1975. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two letters different, one letter different, two letters different. Anyway, that's easy; we are talking about FULL names. If we kept it to just surnames, there would be many more.

Obviously Bjorn Knutsson was the world champion. Starting in the latter part of the 1950s speedway sometimes used an S too many, hence Bjorn Knutson became Knutsson in programmes and magazines, Mike Broadbank was Broadbanks and Chris Julian was Julians for a long time.

There's always been spelling mistakes in programmes, but this thread is about finding any 2 riders who had similar names which differed only by one letter.

Obviously Bjorn Knutsson was the world champion. No, the rider who won the World Championship was Bjorn Knutson. However his name was often spelt wrongly with two s's for most of his career.
