Kipper 4 Posted October 14, 2004 Suirprised no one's mentioned Cyril Quick, who if my memory serves me correctly, very often wasn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norbold 7,116 Posted October 15, 2004 On the other hand there was Alec Slow who rode for Lea Bridge. Unlike Cyril Quick I believe Alec did live up to his name....And no, I don't mean he was smart! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest secondsigning Posted October 26, 2004 (edited) For the Bees Ole Soederman, Henryk Zyto, Anti Pajari (The only rider to scrape his footrest all around the old metal Ipswich fence) Peter (I used to deliver his papers at home) Brough, he never did bring Archie along Vic "Smiler" Emms Derek "Dabber" Tailby,  Leicester gave us Charlie "Baby face" Barsby "Big 'ead" "Hurri" Ken McKinley  and who could forget the likes of "Howdy" Byford "Split" Waterman Jimmy Squibb visiting riders the home fans all loved to hate  Weymouth has given us "Gentleman Geoff" Swindells "Mighty Martin" Yeates "Super Simon" Wigg  The list could go on - I have had so many favourites (and not so favourites) over the years, all who have really given value for money and so many were "characters" - something the sport lacks these days.
