Brian Hamilton 1 Posted April 23, 2008 ............rode for Oxford, Exeter and Hackney in the mid to late sixties. What nationality was he please, and does anyone have any memories to share? Yes I remember hi, well, he only rode for Oxford I think for 1 season, but I feel sure he rode for more than just 3 Clubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sotonian 610 Posted April 23, 2008 Yes I remember hi, well, he only rode for Oxford I think for 1 season, but I feel sure he rode for more than just 3 Clubs. You can add Rayleigh and Sunderland to the list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedyguy 20 Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) You can add Rayleigh and Sunderland to the list. His one-time mechanic Al Holliday (ex-California, Eastbourne and Rayliegh junior) is still about. They were co-promoters with Stan Clark at Rayleigh in 1964. Edited April 25, 2008 by speedyguy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOBBATH 467 Posted April 23, 2008 There is no way Maurie was riding as late as 68 when Berwick started-I reckon as per Frigbo it was Maurie Robinson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
