Bob Paulson And John Dews

Was John Dews not a good track man as well. Seem to remember he had a spell at Newcastle.

Just looked at my Who's who in Speedwat from the 70's-shows John dews was born in 45 so he passed away when only 50-what a shame. Don't think he rode for Newcastle tho'-the book shows Sheff,Oxford and Wimbledon.

Sorry Bob, I meant that he was a track man at Newcastle at some stage.

No problemo Tsunami-I'm glad to hear that other people besides me remember these 60's riders-especially old PL ones. Brough Park was one stadium I always meant to visit but just never got round to it-guess its changed a lot since PL days-but at least you've still got racing there.

Thanks for that, another fact is that John Dews was related to the Boococks, I cannot remember whether it was by marriage or whether he was a cousin.

Hi Spinny. Didn't some big rider marry his sister. I have a name but don't want to post it.

I have got a feeling that it was Booey I know that there is a connection, I know that they friends from school days.

Have to agree with your accessment of him been an excellent trackman, the guy did the track at Sheffield when he was Team Manager, I think that he learnt that craft from the Late great Frank Varey.
