chunky Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 (edited) So, alphabetically speaking... It does state that Dave Younghusband was - "without doubt" - the most successful "Y" rider. I can see where you are coming from, but personally, I think that two World Championships would have given Jack Young the edge? Others you could have mentioned were Jack's bruvva Frank (at Cradley), and young Tom Young at Plymouth, Scunny, Newport etc. Then there were the Yates brothers from the late 40's/early 50's, Fred and John, and Larry Young at Fleetwood and St. Austell. Then you have the Flying Finn, Vesa Ylinen, and the Latvian who was killed in a track crash in 1993, Artur Yudin. Finally, there is my good mate, Keith Yorke.
