Vincent Vega 135 Posted June 24, 2005 Dons fans from the era you used to go to Plough Lane on a regular basis what would your Dons Dream Team look like? I used to go every week in the 80s and the 90 and 91 season before they moved to Eastbourne that year so mine would look like. 1. Jessup 2 Simmo 3 Ferreira 4 Roger Johns 5 Jamie Luckhurst 6 Todd Wiltshire 7 Ray Morton Team Manager Russell Lanning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we can add Briggs and Mauger to that quartet for the 1958 season. I know that Peter Moore had moved to Ipswich by then but can anybody confirm that six out of the seven riders mentioned in Cecticman's team actually rode together for Wimbledon?

iris123 20,994 Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Has to be said, not for the first time, that any inclusion of Mauger in a Wimbledon best 7 has no hold on the reality of his Wimbledon career, where his appearances were few and far between and not very good, and more to do with his career elsewhere. For the Dons, even including his re-appearance in 1963 where he was better than the 1950s, but doubt overall he averaged more than about 4pts, more often than not he had two rides and scored 0-2 pts Edited January 1, 2020 by iris123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I can confirm that. They appeared in the same team in 1956, and also in a couple of challenge matches in 1959. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
