And just to fill in the gap he rode for NL Oxford in 1978.

Can also remember him riding for Glasgow during their last couple of years at Hampden Park.

I remember he rode in a team there with Jimmy Mac ,Finn Thompson ,Liefe Berlin( forgive the spelling) and John Jackson( who I spannered for) doubling up from Elle/Port,George was a true gem and told me many stories of 60's s/way.He was tough but fair rider on many occassions team riding Jacko home. He told me he wanted to ride for ever as it was better than working for a living ,this was borne out by the fact some said he rode a couple of years too long.
