The Tresarrieu brothers at Isle of Wight? I'm sure at some point 2 of the 3 must have ridden in the same line-up.

I'm sure that Kai Niemi and Veijo Tuoriniemi would have ridden together at Eastbourne in 1979?

1979 and 1980 Tuoriniemi  ( RIP) put three points on his average in 1980 averaged only 2.96 in 1979.He had a nightmare seven meetings for the Robins in 1981 scoring only 2 points in seven meetings.

Talking of Eastbourne, let's not forget the fantastic Polish pair of Jozef Kafel and Jan Puk, who rode together against Sheffield in 1980.

Wilbur Lamoreaux and Miny Waln rode together a few times for the Dons in 1937,

Arnold Stolting and Fritz Niemeck came over in 1930, although I don't believe either made the team, but Gustav Kellner did make a few appearances the following year.
