Which team did they all ride for?

How about Bob, John and Eric Dugard? Didn’t they all ride for Eastbourne at different times?
Not to mention Martin, Connor and Kelsey…!

I can think of 3 brothers who all rode for Long Eaton

I can think of 3 brothers  who all rode for Oxford

I can think of 3 brothers who all rode for Mildenhall 

And it's the same 3 brothers

(Although in 2 cases the records list a single appearance by one of the trio)

The Blackbird Brothers...some sort of record?

Don't forget the brothers who are always forgotten - Gary, Mark, and Martin Chessell. They all rode for Swindon.

Did Fred, Eric and Ian Williams all ride for the same team at the same time- I think Fred and Eric did for Wembley but I always associate Ian with Swindon. Never got to see anyof them ride unfortunately. How about this all 3 brothers made the World Final at various times-the only brothers I can think of to duplicate this are the Collins'-. Reckon that's about it.

Quite right, BOBBATH, they never rode for the same team.

I saw Eric ride every week for two years at New Cross. Also saw Ian a few times. Sadly never got to see Fred ride, though I did meet him a few times after he'd retired at various events.

Glad to say I saw all three of them ride. Ian broke Wembley track record  in a second half event.
