No Jack Parker? As a Scot I couldn't possibly comment.

Had I gone for 8 I would have included Jack. I did think Parker over Louis or Jessup, but as I never actually saw Jack but did follow Dave and John, I gave them the edge.

What a great Team that would have been. :t::approve: :approve:

 

I think I would have had Malcolm Simmons in the Team ahead of John Louis.

What about Nigel and/or Eric Boocock?

Simon Wigg

Tommy Price

All great Riders - but crucially - would they improve the Team selected by CHR.

 

I am not sure they would.

I was tempted to include Malcolm and Norman Hunter but as an old "Hammer" might have been accused of bias.
