2ndBender 28 Posted May 9, 2008 Peter Harris Australia Steve I don't know if we're talking about the same guy, but a Peter Harris who was a Newport junior in '64 - '65 was definitely Welsh - Newport born and bred. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted May 9, 2008 Bob Andrews New Zealand (Born in England, rode for England, before become a naturalized New Zealander) I believe I'm right in saying that Kiwi, who is a member of the forum, is Bob's son.....or is there a New Zealander called Bob Andrew? I'll shut up now before I dig a deeper hole for myself 'cos I get confused with similar names. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most people actually forget that Bob was originally English, particularly as he won the World Pairs as a New Zealander, with Ivan Mauger. There was also Bill Andrew (no "s"). It was quite common for people to confuse the two, especially as they were around at the same time. Bill, an accomplished jockey, rode for Poole, Newport, Halifax etc. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There must be two, then. Peter Harris was an Australian who rode for Yarmouth in 1952, and appeared for the Overseas Team in the Test Series against Britain that year. He also rode for Wolverhampton under the name "Gundy" Harris. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You got it right, Rode his individual world finals for England and tests up until mid 60's when became NZ'er rode for NZ from then on.

(A bit like, as Millard would or still keeps on saying, the norwegian riding on a polish licence, like its something unusual) Kiwi, would appreciate if you could thank your dad for me for his identification of track and rider/manager on John Skinners Newcastle Speedway site under "Name the Rider" section. I posted a picture of Brian O'Shea & his Vincent taken in 1965. The info was much appreciated and still hoping someone out there can identify the others in the picture for me. Jo.
