Three Brothers Who Rode For The Same Team

Recommended Posts

I'm sure that there are many examples but having just re-read "The Story of Oxford Speedway" I was reminded that John Grahame rode for "The Cheetahs". Together with brothers Andy and the late Alan that makes it three who rode for the same team. I can think of the Kennett Brothers who rode for Eastbourne (Barney appeared briefly I recall).

Roger, Alan and Peter Johns all rode for the Dons i think

Roger was one who frequently rode in second halves at Cowley during the promotional tie up between Oxford and Eastbourne (as well as Peterborough) and many of us naturally thought that he would eventually move up full time with the "Rebels" but it was never to be.

Alan, Andy and John also rode for Cradley Heath.  John made a single appearance in 1984.

The obvious answer would be the Collins Brothers and Belle Vue.

Peter, Les and Neil....would have been something if both Phil and Stephen had also ridden for the "Aces"?

The Tolley brothers, Les, Dick and Jim all rode for Cradley.

Also three of the Collins brothers rode for Cradley, with Les riding for the Heathens in 1996 when they were based at Stoke.

I can think of 3 brothers who all rode for Long Eaton

I can think of 3 brothers  who all rode for Oxford

I can think of 3 brothers who all rode for Mildenhall 

And it's the same 3 brothers

(Although in 2 cases the records list a single appearance by one of the trio)
