Caught out again...many thanks! It's very difficult finding riders who fell into that particular category? I'm obviously not looking at riders who did a couple of years (mainly overseas like Roman Jankowski for example) but who remained loyal to one particular club for, say, five years or more.

iris123 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Yes, I was thinking Terry Mussett. Apparently his career is shrouded in mystery, but I see he did ride for a couple of teams other than Wimbledon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five years minimum would seem to be a good starting point... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOBBATH Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 How about Bill Landels for Edinburgh-he became Scottish Champ one year-bit of an upset result. I think Bill emigrated to Oz-anyone know if he is still with us? Maybe Mike Watkin for Newcastle could be another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did make an appearance for Kings Lynn in 1966, but I don't have any details; it may have been a guest outing. Mike Watkin definitely not. He rode for Barrow in 1972.

MassMarauder Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Ian turner, Kings Lynn 1969 to 1980. And although he rode for Boston in his last season in 1980 - they were kind of Kings Lynn's second team. Wasn't Rochdale a Belle Vue feeder team ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

25yearfan Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Graham Jones (the first one by the way not the 1980's/90's Stoke and Wolves rider!) had his first League rides for Boston in the early 70's before going to ride long distance for Berwick for many years so wasn't completely a one club man! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
