Nope, definitely not

 

Rode Wimbledon away 1971. Scored 1.

 

Probably a Dons junior who stood in for the meeting.

I believe Colin Clark passed away on 29/12/1979, and Brian Craven in April 1993.

 

I had no idea Derek Cook is no longer with us, he was a great little rider in his day.

Re Brian Craven - date of birth 21/03/1932, Liverpool; death recorded as Registration District: Birkenhead, 1993, April. Source: Find My Past. Hope this is of some help.

Geoff Curtis was killed on December 15 1973 at Sydney Showground (assuming he died there and not later). (I'm guessing you already knew that, though, and really wanted his birth details).

There was a Dons junior with this name around this period. I think the Steve of the famous Collins' family would have been too young anyway . . .

There was a Steve Collins riding second halfs at New Cross back in 1963.Wonder if this is the same rider who was doing second halfs at Wimbledon in the 70s?

Geoff was born 26/4/1943 in Sydney if that helps.

If he is still alive, he would have to be well in his sixties at least.

Is this the Scott Campos you're after? If so, his place and date of birth are on his profile page.
