norbold 7,116 Posted March 30, 2004 Ian made one World Final in 1957. His appearance created a new record by becoming the third brother to contest a World Final. He scored three points and came 14th. But he was a top man at Swindon in the late 50s and early 60s and was instrumental in Swindon winning the old National League in 1957 and breaking up Wimbledon's winning run.

boxer123 3 Posted April 5, 2004 Ipswich - Local riders (English and living within 20 miles of Stadium) John Louis Chris Louis Scott Nicholls Jeremy Doncaster Tony Davey Mark Loram Mike Lanham (to score all the bonus points !!) ! Interesting........ wonder if any other team can come up with a like team. Plus we havnt mentioned Leigh Lanham,Savalas and a couple more. Certainly Peter Moore and possibly Ray Cresp in the other team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
