shazzybird 10 Posted November 18, 2004 Duncrusadin when exactly did Barney take over and for how long was he Captain? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duncrusadin 2 Posted November 18, 2004 Looking through the old progs last night, it looks as though Ted succeeded Ross as skipper in '73. I'll have to do a more thorough check but I think Les Rumsey followed Ted and then Barney took over around '75 or '76. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shazzybird 10 Posted November 18, 2004 So was Captain for about 9 or 10 years then as he stopped riding round about 85 didn't he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

duncrusadin 2 Posted November 18, 2004 I'm sitting here surrounded by Canterbury programmes and I think I can give you the definitive answer. Ted became captain in 1973 when Ross Gilbertson threw a sickie and then signed for Eastbourne (much to JSH's chagrin, I seem to remember). Ted retained the captaincy until he left for Hackney at the end of 1974. Les Rumsey was skipper in 1975 and Barney succeeded him the following year, 1976, and held the post until the end of the 1980 season. Mike Ferreira took over for 1981 (Barney skippered the side for a few matches towards the end of the season) and Denzil Kent had a go in 1982. Barney was back at the helm in '83 and 84.
