hi. First of all grandad says thanks for comments =D In response to all your questions: >team mate liked to ride with 64-65: Geoff Mudge >old meadowbank= he liked >George Hunter: he thought was a good rider and they got along well >White City: Didn't really like it much- preferred Coatbridge > Best season: He says he had several good seasons, Mainly 1965 at Newport > Rode at both Yarmouth and Norwich >Tim Bungay: he thought was a good rider >Somerton Park: he didn't like because he said it was too narrow and dangerous although he rode well there after a shaky start. >And Jon Erskine is still alive to our knowledge > Best rider of PL = Ivan Mauger As for Alan Kidd, he visited my grandad a few years ago, and they celebrated his 80th Birthday, and they still keep in contact via a friend (the late Sid Hazzards wife) Hope these answers are ok. Best wishes =D

Norman Says Thank you. ... from my perspective as his granddaughter, it's great to hear how much people thought of him, and interesting that so many people thought so much of him! =D

Hi...Have grandad sat here answering! =D His favourite track was: Sheffied His least favourite track was: Exeter And he got along least with John Dews who rode for Sheffied. Apparently he got along OK with Ivor Brown...

Would he know who you are if I gave him your name?...he didn't know from just 'bobc'...or are you a fan from back in the day =D? ...just wish I'd been able to see him ride haha!
