Always used to see him outside South Wimbledon station grabbing a kebab after the meetings! His legs made Les McGillivray look like Steve Schofield...

If that is the case we can also add his younger brother Bob to the list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WalterPlinge 657 Posted February 4, 2019 I believe Nathan Stoneman is Welsh, as was Kevin Price. Wasn't Glyn Taylor also born in Wales? Had to laugh at the idea of Nicky Mallett as a suggestion for favourite Welsh rider. Would he ever come in a list of favourite anything? Maybe "favourite suspected arsonist (never proven)"? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because Glyn Taylor may have been born in Wales would not have automatically made him Welsh. As his parents were Australian his birth most likely would have been registered at the Australian Embassy which would thus have determined his nationality.

Since he rode in the Conference League for Wolves, I would assume he has dual British/Australian nationality. He was certainly born in Wales as I said.

He was certainly born in Wales as I said. As a comparison - I recall a South African rider (his name escapes me) riding in the Conference League circa 2004-2005. He had no nationality links to the UK. Wimbledon who were in the same league at this time had an Australian and New Zealander in their teams over their CL seasons.
