Hi Shazzy
My database includes all second-halfers that I have come across, but the list is still growing. I'll get back to you on riders named Allen around that time.
Don't know. I worked in Manchester at the time and he was one of the Directors of the company. He lived in Stockport. I was young and impressionable at the time and didn't like to ask too many questions!
Many years ago one of the bosses where I worked told me he used to be a speedway rider and that he rode at Hall Green. I have never come across his name any where and I just wondered if anybody out there had heard of him, or was he winding me up. His name was Gilson (Gil) Seaton.
