cyclone 943 Posted March 1, 2004 Buggy Fleaman (Cardiff 1929). A perfect pair would have been Merv Salt (Teeside ?) & Adrian Pepper(Peterborough) or Gary Rolls (Hackney) & Paul Bentley PS Recall a rider called Bingley Cree who I rodefor Poole in 1948, is this who Mr # Name Removed # is thinking about ?

Addy 1 Posted March 2, 2004 TAFFY OWEN May be just a name to you - but hopefully will be helping to prop up the BV bar, with Bill and co. in the not too distant future ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norbold 7,116 Posted March 2, 2004 I have to say I find some of the responses to this thread a bit difficult to understand. For example I can understand why Buggy Fleaman comes in to the category of 'unforgettable speedway names' but Ray Wilson, Taffy Owen???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gemini 4,894 Posted March 2, 2004 (edited) I don't think any of the above are Speedway riders, Peter. They sound more like some of Sandman's motley crew on his boat, especially Happy Kirk. Edited March 2, 2004 by Gemini Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mIcK50 3 Posted March 2, 2004 There was a bloke going around in Queensland years ago called Zane Harrington and over here in the west, we had a rider with the very marketable name of Guy Hawkes! I think he had a short stint in the 2nd division in England. I believe he was a school teacher by profession. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you Cyclone - I didn't think I'd gone completely off my trolley. Have we mentioned Split - Squire Frank Waterman yet, and how he got his nickname?
