TonyMac 720 Posted July 4, 2007 (edited) Exeter 80-1..Keith Wright Weymouth-1 Action is John Barker...Arena rider Bob Humphries Barrow-BIR7..Mike Sampson <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks Bob C and all. Wasn't sure if I was right about Bob Watts of Exeter? Could the Crayford action shot (83-2) be Mike Spinks? Those youngsters deserve to be named too! Where's Derek Barclay and Bryn Williams when you need them!? http://www.retro-speedway.com/extras/autog...ders%2FCrayford Edited July 4, 2007 by tmc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyMac 720 Posted July 4, 2007 (edited) Glasgow and Hackney updates have been uploaded tonight. There are a few 'unknowns' to identify in both sections (well, it's those Kestrels!), plus a youngster in Boston colours. Edited July 4, 2007 by tmc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

salty 2,190 Posted July 4, 2007 Crayford 83-1 is Trevor Barnwell I reckon and I would also go with Mike Spinks for the second action shot. The other fella i haven't a clue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The other fella i haven't a clue. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought it might have been Trevor, but no idea on the others. As far as the Hackney ones, 85-2 looks like Mike Fitzpatrick, and I'm sure that 85-3 is Gary Rolls. I'm thinking you will find that the other two (84-1 and 85-4) will be more Paul Whittaker.

speedwayplus 0 Posted July 7, 2007 A quick bit of detective work with Peter Oakes' 1978 yearbook tells me that Glasgow 77-1 must be Rob Hamman. The same rider appears in the 1977 team picture on the site. The give-away is the absence of both Derek Richardson and Benny Rourke from the side (though Benny is pictured in overalls). The only meeting they both missed was at Ellesmere Port on 5th April and the team for that meeting was made up by Rob - making his one and only appearance for Glasgow.

Mildenhall Unknowns 76 is Bob Coles leading, and I'm pretty sure that's Fred Mills behind. Steve Edited July 8, 2007 by chunky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
