Can You Identify These Speedway Riders?

Recommended Posts

Looking through my photo collection and found these photos who I don't know/not sure of/forgotten who it is!

Can you identify any of them?

If you leave your cursor over the photo it gives you the date they were taken.

Please don't guess otherwise it leads to confusion.

Bryn, Paul T might recognise some of these.

Cheers Brian

Had a QUICK glance (off to IOW in a mo!)

 

For sure:

 

3 = Jack Bibby

 

8 = Richard Pettman

 

Will study others later.

I have added a couple more photos...

Rider 10 a 'Stags' rider sponsored by ?? Entertainments

Riders 11, 12 & 13 with leading Rider 11 being Steve Schofield, but who are the other two riders? One is sponsored by JT Commercials, taken at an individual meeting around 1989.

No. 1 looks suspiciously like Banksy, and I would say that No. 2 was Paul Whittaker. No. 13 could well be Tony Langdon.

 

I'll do some more research.

Number 13 is very definitely Tony Langdon.

No 10 looks like Phil White to me... :blink:

I don't think it is Phil, as I don't thin he rode for Scunthorpe when they were called the Stags.

Phil White rode for Scunthorpe in 1980 when they were the Stags. And, judging from the photograph in 1981's yearbook, he wore leathers similar to those in the photograph. So, in conclusion, falcace could well be right. I'd go with Phil White.

Not going to argue with that, the leathers do look like his, I bow to Falcace's better knowledge
