iris123 Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Freddie Williams of course from the other thread But also his team mate at Wembley George Wilks in a decent career, never left London as his base, riding for Harringay, Hackney, Wembley and West Ham. So didn't even have his home base south of the river Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought Kuhn rode for a team in the midlands, which is why I checked. Must have mixed him up with someone else. But guess he qualifies for the other thread, having come from Birmingham and never rode for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree the minimum if iris123 agrees as iris123 started the thread otherwise this thread will be elongated with one team riders such as my choices.

Guest Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Interesting that most of the names on page 1 were pre-war riders when there were very few top level teams outside London. George Wilks being the honourable exception Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
