fatface 2,552 Posted July 2, 2007 Richard Green and Alan Mogridge absolute musts. Les Collins was also always great value, as was Martin Goodwin. Another fella I remember is the French rider Thierry Hilaire, I think he rode for Milton Keynes? He was a bit of a nutter, but always gave 100%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
