BOBBATH 466 Posted April 27, 2021 Sad to hear this, I recall Ernie riding for Hackney at Newport in 1965-66- heavy rain. Some guys just packed it in or didn't try too hard-but Ernie kept giving it his all through the entire meeting. I would guess Ernie's age was somewhere in the eighyies-anyone know?
