TonyMac 720 Posted December 1, 2008 Can anyone please help us to confirm the identities of some riders/team managers who appear in the photos on our Gallery (follow link below). This is what we know so far, but can anyone please fill in the gaps (assuming left to right order): SOUTHAMPTON Back row: Alby Golden, Barry Briggs, ?????? (team manager), Reg Luckhurst, Bjorn Knutson. Front: ??????????, Cyril Roger, Peter Vandenberg. DONS IN BATH Front: Geoff Mardon, Ronnie Moore, Barry Briggs. Back: Dom Perry (is this correct?), ??????? and ??????? (partly hidden). DONS 1954 Back row: Geoff Mardon, Barry Briggs, Cyril Brine, Ronnie Moore, Peter Moore. Front: Reg Trott, Dom Perry (?), Cyril Maidment. We'll be adding lots more 'Mystery Men' to the site, which we hope you may be able to identify for us, in the weeks ahead. In the meantime, here's the link for these first three pics: http://www.retro-speedway.com/extras/autog...w=Mystery%20Men Many thanks. Tony Mac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

britmet 233 Posted December 1, 2008 Swindon team; on rt. the name Bob Jones comes to mind, or some name like that, - ? and NP on left, as given. (Checked my Robins team photo from that time, - its '65, with only NP with the riders.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parsloes 1928 nearly 495 Posted December 3, 2008 The official on the left is the man I was named after, Norman Parker. It's a pity that Mr. & Mrs. Jacobs didn't call you 'Parker' rather than Norman... Then you could have been my chauffeur and not t'other way round...!!!!
