My excuse is that I didn't see him ride very often for Swindon in 1974, on checking only 6 times! Remove him from my list and add: Charlie Barsby - Leicester Alan Totney - Cradley Heath Frank Boyle - Oxford Brian Hanham - Southampton Bengt Larsson - Sheffield Bill Landels - Edinburgh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could also had fiction between a rider and management or fans. Erik Gundersen only rode for Cradley Heath AKA Cradley. It will be far easier to find a foreign rider that rode for a single club than a British one. Edited May 31, 2020 by Robbie B 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thing is, there are MANY riders who rode for only one British club, but only had one or two seasons in the UK. They do fit the criteria, but cannot be classed as "servants". Riders like Kafel, Szczepanik, Olkiewicz, Zabik, Grubmuller, Marzotto etc. Even Brad Oxley... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
