chunky 6,092 Posted February 10, 2008 Suprised no one has mentioned Mark Loram yet. Going of memory alone, he has ridden for Hackney Ipswich Kings Lynn Poole Wolves Arena Essex Eastbourne Exeter any more ? Unfortunately, even if you have missed a couple, Mark is still WELL behind the leaders. So far, we have (including new entries Featherstone, Woffinden, and Corradine) : 18 - Alan Mogridge 16 - Tony Featherstone (Boston, Bradford, Crayford, Exeter, Hackney, King's Lynn, King's Lynn II, Leicester, Long Eaton, Milton Keynes, Newport, Peterborough, Poole, Scunthorpe, Sheffield, Wolves) 16 - Wal Morton 15 - James Birkinshaw 15 - George Major 12 - Chris Julian 12 - Ken Vale 11 - Mark Burrows 11 - Reidar Eide 11 - Eric Hockaday 11 - Geoff Penniket 11 - Nigel Sparshott 11 - Rob Woffinden (Berwick, Birmingham, Boston, Edinburgh, Halifax, Middlesbrough, Milton Keynes, Rye House, Scunthorpe, Sheffield, Stoke) 10 - Jimmy Squibb 9 - Mal Corradine (Birmingham, Cradley, Doncaster, Long Eaton, Middlesbrough, Oxford, Stoke, Weymouth, Wolves) 9 - Steve Johnston Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can think off-hand of Wimbledon, New Cross, Harringay, Yarmouth, Middlesbrough, Bristol - and I'm certain that he rode for a few more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
star ghost 7 Posted February 10, 2008 (edited) Geoff Pymar rode at the Firs (unlicensed Sunday track pre- Max Grosskreutz) in the 1930s and also in the 1950s in National League. Geoff also rode some seasons in the Bradford team in his later years. Edited February 10, 2008 by star ghost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oddfossengen 1 Posted February 13, 2008 Wal Morton rode for Coventry and Wimbledon before the War He also rode for Belfast in Ireland but I don't think that would count WHY NOT ITS A TRACK ISNT IT!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

star ghost 7 Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) I have looked up my records for Wal Morton and can get 18 tracks Belfast (50) non-league Bradford "Greenfields" (62) Bradford "Odsal" (53 & 54) Bristol (36) Chapelizod (50) non-league Coventry (33) Glasgow White City (46) Hackney Wick (63) Harringay (47 - 49) Ipswich (57 & 59 & 64) and non-league (51) Liverpool (60) Middlesbrough (61) Motherwell (50) non-league Newcastle (51) Norwich (37 - 39 & 48 & 57) West Ham (33 - 35 & 52) Weymouth (64) Wimbledon (35 - 37) The reason I said I didn't know if Belfast would count was because that was a non-league outfit, just like Chapelizod and Motherwell . You could also add West Ham Reserves as they were a seperate team in 1934. That would make 19 TEAMS' This would move him to the top of the list then Geoff Pymar just about reaches double figures as his pre-war years were all spent with one team - Wimbledon .

speedyguy 20 Posted March 19, 2008 Somerset. Wal Morton - a dear old chap - seems to be the overall leader. I'm too lazy but can anyone do a provisional "league table" when they get time please. Here's another: KEITH HARVEY: High Beech Stamford Bridge Wimbledon West Ham Luton Birmingham Crystal Palace Norwich New Cross Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
