The singular is criterion. I'm sad enough to get stressed about such minutiae. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an issue as far as I'm concerned...it's always interesting how any particular thread develops as that's how public forums work.

Stephen Doughty Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Although his time riding in England came during the Elite League/Premier League era, surely Freddie Lindgren takes first prize for the foreign rider who spent the longest time at just one club? Freddie spent 14 years at Wolves, 2003-2013 and then again 2015-2017, and only ever rode for Wolves in England. I can't think of another one club foreign rider who comes close to Freddie's loyalty to Wolves. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking Robbie Blackadder...of course some riders used to "double-up" with their sister club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to add Ronnie Moore who had 18 seasons at Wimbledon but it seems that he also rode for Coventry in 1974, something that I was hitherto unaware of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that is still something that people argue about. Even though it was a very temporary stint, it should actually disqualify him as a "one-club" rider.

He rode for Wimbledon for 18 seasons and then turned out twice for Coventry in 1974. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
