Graham Jones (the first one by the way not the 1980's/90's Stoke and Wolves rider!) had his first League rides for Boston in the early 70's before going to ride long distance for Berwick for many years so wasn't completely a one club man!

5 meetings for Boston

Very nice unassuming person as well. Haven't seen him for a while but whenever I'm over at Kilburn I pop into the "Mouseman Visitor Centre" hoping to catch a chat with him.

Remember the story about Maido when he was Team Manager of the "Dons" and after a meeting when he met up with some fans on the way back home from a meeting they were criticising him for a missed T/C sub move and he dropped his trousers in response and they all had a good laugh!

Yes it was quite serious Steve, but Robert did say he felt he was very fortunate to come out unscathed generally in his career.

I recall Maido as one of the heatleaders for Belle Vue-nice bloke-though didn't he get Jim Tebby fired from the Dons.

I have never heard that  Jim Tebby story before BOBBATH!!!!  Jim once beat Ivan Mauger in heat 1 a 5.1 with Trevor Hedge at Plough Lane 1970 .Going back to Cyril he was an Ace from 1962/68 .

Yes, we seem to have gone over to riders who almost rode for one team only, but not quite....... As for Tebby, well Maido was manager and dropped him pre-season. Maybe with short notice, and the idea was Jim would be no.8 and have to fight for his place, which he didn't think was right and I think went off to Newport. Personally feel it was a good decision.

It wasn't so much that Maido didn't want him that upset Jim, but the way he did it (including the late notice).

But as it was, he was at Newport for the start of their season, but I guess he was miffed at how it was done
