1960's riders with beards!!


BOBBATH

This comes under the heading "bobbath get a life"-actually it follows on from the Norman Hunter thread because he had a beard in 1963. I also came up with : James Bond, Tommy Sweetman, Reg Reeves, George Major, Jimmy Squibb-there must be others but I can't remember.!! BTW re the West Ham memories youtube video , John Chaplin came up with many incisive comments and was extensively interviewed.

Howard Cole, Ken Eyre, Allan Brown, and Bob Andrews for a start...

Crumbs that's some memory?

I've said before that 1969 was a big turning point for me as far as speedway, and I have constantly studied it. That's how I remember Dave at Plymouth

Russell Osborne and Alan Witt(?) but I guess that was the 70's?

Alan Witt, yes, but Russ creeps in for 1969!

Then there's dear old Terry Stone...

Graham Warren, Brian Crutcher (just -  a few meetings in early 1960).

Good call! Weird thing, though... We are talking about "beards", but how many of them could actually be classed as beards? Crutcher, Andrews, Cole, Broadbank, Roger Hill (I think he grew his in 1970), all they had was a bit of fluff on their chins! Strange when you think about it...

I like these sort of threads as it really tests the old brain cells!

Then think of some more you can start!
