steve roberts 9,242 Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Not sure if this is unusual but the Middlesbrough team of 1948 had Frank Hodgson, Wilf Plant and Derick Close in their line up. In later years sons Russ Hodgson, Graham Plant and Nigel Close rode for Middlesbrough albeit not during the same season.

You should know, it's weird things like that that interest me, so I'll do some research to see if there are any similar cases. That's if BL65 doesn't beat me to it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 20,935 Posted July 18, 2021 Quite possible something similar has happened Seem to think that Hartmut, Martin and Ben Ernst all rode for Stralsund. Grandad, son and grandson.Then quite possibly Mario Busch and Tobi Busch rode for Stralsund as well. Could well be that Mario rode with Martin Ernst and Tobi with Ben Ernst 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chunky 6,086 Posted July 19, 2021 I'm having trouble finding three fathers who even rode in the same team, let alone have sons that rode for that team! I have Reg Luckurst, Trevor Hedge, and Bob Dugard, but I'm still looking... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are there any great grandchildren at Eastbourne? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old bob at herne bay 828 Posted July 19, 2021 Paul Dugard is Martin's brother. Then Kelsey Dugard is Martins son. You also have the Kennetts at Eastbourne , Gordon, Barney and Edward. Then the Collins clan , Peter, Phil , Les. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I looked at these three...obviously there was Jamie & Jeremy who both, I think, rode for Wimbledon and Trevor's son Gavin who also rode for the "Dons".

salty 2,200 Posted July 19, 2021 Roy Trigg, Colin Pratt and Bob Andrew’s are close at Cradley. But Bob moved to Hackney when Colin moved to Dudley Wood so they never rode together. Troy rode for Cradley at Stoke and Bobs grandson rode at Monmore for the Hearhens. Think Triggys son rode some second halves? As I said close…., 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, but Martin and Paul didn't. As I said, it's a struggle finding three dads in the same team! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shippy22 60 Posted July 20, 2021 Les Collins, Michael Coles & Kenny McKinna all rode for Edinburgh in 1992. Their sons Aiden Collins, Adam McKinna and Connor Coles all rode for the monarchs at some time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RS50 359 Posted July 20, 2021 Not certain, but I seem to recall that Alan Jay and his father both rode for Sheffield, possibly even in the same match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They did, on 13th August 1964. Wilf Jay rode at reserve in the home match against Long Eaton and scored 1. His sons, Alan and Derek, were also in the team and scored 10 and 0 respectively.
