iris123 21,083 Posted April 20, 2004 (edited) Great help so far Must say i`m amazed.Any info on Brian Davies and Jim Crowhurst,must say i don`t know them Never heard of Mac Woolford either.Thanks Bucket the Southampton team i wasn`t expecting too much help with.How wrong i was. Put a few more on.The Dons riders i think one is Ronnie Moore.Poole 88 Its the back row on either side of Neil Street.Rye House 1, its the no 6 kneeling.Rye House 2 ,the one at the back between Naylor and Andy Silver and the one kneeling in front of him.The other Rye House team i dont know the two riders between P.Shroek and R.R Ta As for the Courtnell brothers i see there is a T.Courtnell listed in 54 whats his first name if its him,anyone? Must admit when i have looked at the photo i always thought front left looked like a Russian then saw Hveem rode around that time so presummed it was him.Thanks Norbold Edited April 20, 2004 by iris123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frigbo 524 Posted April 20, 2004 Terry Courtnell. I believe he was killed in a car accident in S.Africa in the mid 50's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Custom House Kid 45 Posted April 20, 2004 Rider between Bert Roger and T Stevenson may be Pat Clarke? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,364 Posted April 20, 2004 Left of Neil Street is Matthew Cross. Right might be Tony Langdon but not sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grachan 7,364 Posted April 20, 2004 Sure is Tony Langdon I thought it was. Funny thing was I could clearly remember his hair, but not the face! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 21,083 Posted April 20, 2004 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. Your probably right.the photo says 54 because that was my original thought going by the riders i knew but that guy at the front was making me think it was earlier. CHK, i was wondering why Pat Clarke wasn`t mentioned.he was one i expected to be there although i haven`t the faintest what he looks like Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frigbo 524 Posted April 20, 2004 I think Rye House 1 number 6 is Nigel Leaver Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bucket 0 Posted April 20, 2004 The last Rye. pic. could the chap to the left of schroek possibly be Adrian Stevens? Glad to be of help on the Soton. team, it helped having the Southampton speedway book by Paul Eustace. Mac Woolford was a local Swindon rider who I believe was starting to make his way with Eastbourne when he had a big crash, badly damaging his back finishing his speedway career. He still goes to Swindon on occasions and is still suffering from his injurys. Very harsh sport speedway!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 21,083 Posted April 20, 2004 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!) spot on there.Know the meeting 26 May 86.That makes it heat 9 with Per Jonsson.Have another with Nielsen leading Andersson and Jonsson,might put that on later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norbold 7,167 Posted April 21, 2004 (edited) Rider between Bert Roger and T Stevenson may be Pat Clarke? I don't think it's Pat Clarke. I'm sticking to Gerry Hussey for the time being. Another thought about the rider on the far left kneeling. Reg Fearman anyone? Edited April 21, 2004 by norbold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
