There has been a correction in the spelling of the rider's name. It is Blos Bromfield. It seems he was third in heat two behind George Greenwood and Norman Evans, ahead of his team mate Ron Johnson (Australia). Third in heat six behind Jim Kempster, his team mate Charlie Spinks (Overseas), but ahead of Roger Frogley. In heat eight he was second to George Greenwood. ahead of Evans and Charlie Datson (Overseas).

Besides Blos Bromfield, the debate on

has now found another 'Unknown' in the Overseas team for the match - Arthur Mann. However, it would appear from the latest research on the topic that Bromfield was a West Ham jnior - again nothing known about his nationality - at the moment.

Think Mann rode for Glasgow 1929/30

 

edit: confirmed Arthur Mann rode for Glasgow 1929 & 30, and probably 1931 also

has identified two Arthur Manns for the early 1930s. One Australian - seemingly the West Ham and Australia rider in the early England v Overseas series. The other was Scottish riding mainly at White City Glasgow.
