Greatest Fantasy Team

[norbold 7,100]

Local riders also included: Mick Hines, Trevor Jones, Ted Howgego, Dave Gooderham, Kevin Jolly, Andy Hines, Colin Cook, Nigel Flatman and Ben Howe.

 

I don't think many (if any) other teams can match that sort of home grown quality.

 

And, of course, even Billy Sanders, although Australian, started at Ipswich when he was only 16.

Yes as I said there are some others, but I dont think Ben Howe is one. He certainly lived in Crawley from around 1993 and Billy Saunders lived at Hadleigh about 10 miles from town.

Talking of Ipswich juniors. I've just come across a report of an exhibition match race held in 1992 at Foxhall when the 14 year old Leigh Lanham beat the 13 year old Scott Nicholls.....

They certainy rode round in exhibitions befor the main match around that time. Dont think they raced though. Leigh being the older of the two normally lead the way followed by Scott.
