OK, I know we've done this before (nicknames), but I was reading an article on 1929 by Denys Jones in the latest article of Vintage Speedway Magazine and I was struck by the colourful names employed in the early days of the sport. These are just some of the names of riders who appeared in the Northern League (English League) in 1929:   Dusty Haigh Buster Breaks Skid Knock Slider Shuttleworth Nobby Kendrick Sprouts Griffiths Skid Pelvin Crasher Coxhead Smoky Stratton Bronco Dixon Yank Harrison Skid Skinner Speed Formby Bunny Wilcox Riskit Riley Smoke Robinson Skid Hanley   I wonder what Crasher Coxhead did to earn his nickname? And as for Smoke Robinson, didn't he later go on to be a singer.....   Where are they now??? Sigh!!!
