I'm fed up with those endless motorcycle racing mystery pics.... let's look at a real men's sport for a change, soccer ( or football as we say on the continent ) Who do you spot in those two pictures from Jean-François Baldé's private archives, borrowed from the Bike 70 website of my friend Francis Boutet.

I say, not too bad folks, you've got most of them I guess - apart from a few froggies :

Posted Image

Indeed Johnnny Cecotto in black ( glory days of "moulding" t-shirts and tight-assed and wide-legged jeans ! ) , Kenny Roberts in the white tracksuit, then with the open shirt my friend Pascal Renaudat ( but I'm not surprised nobody knew him ) , then an unknown, of course Gregg Hansford with the Kawasaki sweat-shirt, Gérard Choukroun in the background and it's Christian Huguet running away with the ball, not Jon Ekerold . Sadly, the last three not with us any more :(

Posted Image

Renaudat again far left, then I don't know wether it's Uncini or not, but I feel that it may be Alain Terras with the Total t-shirt partly hidden behind, then Jean-François Baldé, Cecotto again in the distance , the small fellow in black is a young Christian Le Liard, Kenny again in the distance, and yes, I think that's Jeff on the right , maybe he'll confirm if/when he sees this.

As to the "where", the picture is captioned as Hockenheim and although I've never been there, the trees seem to make sense. As to the "when", I believe it's '78 , based upon the riders present - I think it's a F 750 race, since most of the french riders pictured ( Renaudat, Le Liard, Choukroun, Huguet ) were not on the Grand Prix circus at those times - and 78 is the only year when Roberts did the whole 750 season . And the German GP was at the ring in 78 . .... I can't be more precise but I just "feel" that it's 78 . But I've also been proved to be wrong ( not as often as Mr Fu, but a few times...:blush:)

No trace of Franco Uncini though....In '78 he rode Yamaha's for Venemotos in 250 and 350 Grand Prix but I'm not sure he had a 750.....

Well done Phillipe, that was fun though it's still all a mystery to me as my eyes aren't quite what they were! Even with a magnifying glass :rotfl: :rotfl:

If that´s Christian Huguet running after the ball in the first pic, that´s also him with the ball directly above his head in the second, unless someone else was dressed the same. ;)

Blimey :up: Very well spotted, Rhodie . I have to admitt that I would not have recognized Christian Huguet if he hadn't been one of the few named by Baldé in the original caption..... and frankly I recognize him even less in the second pic....oh well :rolleyes:

Not the Looijesteijn brothers (Harry, Co, Peter, George), more back in time, it's 1965.

One "player" from this racing family is the father from the "boys" below.
