h...HEGGARTY {TED}, I HAD 10/I WINNER WITH HIM ONE YEAR AT CLONMEL, PICKED UP ABOUT £600 IF I REMEMBER AS HE PAID ME OUT HE SAID "WELL DONE SON", I COULDNT BELEIVE IT !!

ASPARAGUS KID,BULLFIGHTING
ALAN KINGHORN RIP,

'Yes son', Neil Smith.

If we've done the F's
What about Alec Farquer (if that's how you spell it)one of the countries biggest layers,if anyone doesn't recognise the name how does MACBET sound?
Alec just sold up & does the tissue nowadays,may work on here for all I know.

H is for Ralph Harris.  Surely the oldest man ever to make a book anywhere in the old.  He must have been in his mid 90s!

When I used to live in the North West, I don't suppose anyone knows the guy who used to trade at Port Sunlight and St.Helens dogs and had a missus who looked Fillipino, she was quite a tasty girl. He used to wear a sheepskin jacket with blondish hair and a moustache. Also at St.Helens would be Pat Whelan who layed at White City Liverpool. On the other side of the track at White City was a guy who used to wear a camel coat and I remember his generosity one week when I'd lost my Mum's wages and he gave me enough to cover them and a stern lecture. Decent guy.

that sounds a bit like ron simcott lucan,dont know him personally but i believe he imported one.

Must admit, ever since seeing her I've always had a leaning towards the Far East, without success unfortunately.

J for Bob Jacobs.

Was it Charles James who bet without at Yarmouth with the union jack flags flying?  Nice chap.

Just a follow on to the above re: White City, Liverpool. I remember a Ladbrokes rep. setting up a pitch one night, a few yards away from the other boards but at an angle so he could see what they were chalking up. He was always the last to put his prices up (what's new?) but I think the more established bookies soon pulled the carpet from under him because he disappeared after a couple of weeks, never to be seen again. At the time I felt sure the other bookies were wheeling and dealing to make sure he took some big hits. Or does that sort of thing not happen?

Was there a John Jones operating at Merseyside dog tracks?

J is for John Joyce, a leading layer in the North in times gone by. What he would make of today's betting rings is anybodys guess

now he would lay a bet roxyb

used to love those first few place at Cheltenham, Fred Binns, Turner & Kendrick - happy days, I hope they spent my money wisely

RON SIMCOTT,GOOD BOOKIE WOULD LAY A BET(ALTHOUGH,LIKE MOST IN THE RING DIDNT LIKE LAYING THE THIN UNS)GLAD TO TELL U NOW HAPPILY RETIRED,AND HAS A RESIDENT HAREEM IN THIALAND.

clary woods ,napper, bigest layers on the trotting,[ take it away rocka ].

T is for Turner, john or ae as he traded, very big layer in the south of england.

John Pegley still about ?

BARRY BETTS..struggling with his health a little now but still getting about
TONY CHARLSWORTH..still betting at yorkshire area point to points. as regards his home on the cliff top. he was eventually forced to move out before it fell into the north sea . with the compensation bought another some 40 yards further inland saying it would survive long enough for him
TOM JOHNSON a market trader / bookmaker not certain but i believe he has gone , was very ill when i last heard [ hope someone can correct that btw ]his clerk has certainly died.

one you all missed RON [ BUZZ ] CHARLES , a former professional footballer. his daughters tracy and kim sold his pitches as soon as buying and selling came in [ and received a cheque for 35,000 too much which they kept !!!
