Does anyone have any photos of the late Paul Burgoyne? I've added his bio to Jockeypedia but cannot find a photo anywhere. It would be good to add one to his page. Many thanks. George - Jockeypedia.

Former successful jump jockey and Flat trainer Paul Burgoyne died last weekend at the age of 71.
Burgoyne was a popular figure on southern tracks, especially on the all-weather circuit, and as a trainer he had the knack of being very successful in getting the best out of mainly modest material.
In his riding days he served a three-year apprenticeship with Toby Balding and rode his first two winners as a jockey for Roddy Armytage in 1974. After scoring on Dragon Hill at Fontwell in January of that year, he followed up on 20-1 shot Mr Flyer six weeks later in the prestigious Highclere Hurdle at Newbury. That victory was the biggest of his riding career which included 30 winners, of which he later nominated Fighting Taffy as the best horse he ever rode.
He later started training at Wantage in 1981 and celebrated a winner with his first runner, when Long John won a selling hurdle at Newton Abbot in October that year.
Burgoyne enjoyed his best season in the training ranks with ten winners in 2010, including four-time winner Irene Kennet.
Primarily a Flat trainer, he was later based at nearby Childrey and then Upper Lambourn before settling at Shepton Montague, near Wincanton.
He bowed out from the training ranks on a high in February 2018, when his final runner Runaiocht won on the all-weather at Kempton under Oisin Murphy.

Would not accept your email address for some reason and this is the only way I could send the poto. Paul is the one in the centre wearing a cap.
Hello Dambuster, You should be able to get into Jockeypedia simply by putting the word Jockeypedia into your search box. Failing that, try Jockeypedia.co.uk
George, can you see the photo I posted yesterday at 1919 hours?
Hello sparrow...yes, i did receive the one with paul in a group photo. Some six months ago, Google decided to delete Jockeypedia for no particular good reason and with no warning given, and it's taken a while to get it back online. I believe some people have struggled to use the site since but it should be okay now. The email address for the site is jockeypedia2021@gmail.com. The website address is Jockeypedia.co.uk. Thanks for sending in the photo. Greatly appreciated. George.
