Weymouth picture: Bob Coles on the bike. Malcolm Shakespeare in the middle at the back, and Brian Woodward front right. The guy at the back on the left looks familiar too. It might be Doug Underwood. Then again, it might not.

 

Not sure about Champ, but it could be Norman Hunter without a moustache.

 

The Reading picture on 'Old Crusader' has Jan Andersson in the lead. I''l ahve to guess the others: Simon Wigg, Nigel De'Ath and Pierre Brannefors (or possibly Per Jonsson, but the padded shoulders make me go for Pierre!)

Looking at the style it does look like Per.

Champ does look like Norman Hunter.

 

Some preliminary thoughts on the West Ham photo:

 

Left to right, back row: Howdy Byford, Bert Roger, Gerry Hussey(?), Tiger Stevenson (Team Manager), Jack Young, Wally Green. Front row: ?, Malcolm Craven, ?

 

Over to you, CHK...

Eastbourne rider is Tim Ballard (i think)

 

Champ is Norman Hunter

 

West Ham rider is Brian Davies

 

Canterbury rider in "Old Crusader" is Jim Crowhurst

 

Reading riders are Andersson and Jonsson, Oxford are Wigg and ? (Ali Stevens)

 

Weymouth team: Back, Doug Underwood, ?, Malc Shakespeare, Terry Tulloch

 

Front, Kevin Bowen, Bob Coles and Brian Woodward

 

Left Front in the West Ham picture is one of the Courtnell brothers (Maury at a guess)

Thanks so far.Must admit i have not seen a picture of Norman Hunter without facial hair i thought maybe Dickie May but was totally unsure.Doug Underwood was another i kinda thought of as he was the only one i knew with that style of beard.I reckoned the West Ham team was 1952 or 53 and the foreign looking rider kneeling left possibly B.Hveem?.The only one i`m fairly sure of is the Reading vs Oxford one as i took that

Frigbo, any idea of the year for the Weymouth team?

I reckoned the West Ham team was 1952 or 53.

The photograph says 1954 on it, which would fit in with the team members. I agree with bucket the rider on the front right is Keith Gurtner.

[Grachan 7,364]

Swindon team manager is former Bristol rider Dick Bradley.

No, it's not Basse Hveem.
