lucifer sam 3,954 Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Ooops!!! Freddie would be No1 for my Welsh team. I decided to start with seven World Champs as my England team. If Havelock or Loram didn't come up to expectations, they'd be replaced pretty quickly by Jack Parker and Eric Langton / Tom Farndon for the second match.

stratton 1,491 Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Peter Craven Peter Collins Split Waterman Eric Langton Dave Jessup John Louis Brian Crutcher Custom a great seven no Farndon? but i certainly would have Lee,Carter,Simmons above Jessup, also Ray Wilson,Ashby,Betts, both Boocock's at least at the same level as Louis.

All the best Rob How can you possibly pick Eric Langton. I never ever rated him that highly when he was riding. would prefer Bill Kitchen who in the 1940's won 14 out of the 18 times that these two met. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kitchen tbh never got close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star riders' champion in 1932 and v. close to World title in 1936. Not sure why you're looking at the post-war Langton in comparison to Kitchen, when Langton was a decade past his best by then.

waiheke1 4,295 Posted February 3, 2015 Exactly. Its a bit like saying kenny carter was better than peter collins because he had the better head to head record against him . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find your comment interesting - I also saw him and Bill Kitchen ride and would like to compare views if possible please.
