The Riders

From 1965 until their closure in 1985, The Dukes saw a grand total of over 90 riders wear their colours down the years - some successfully, some less so.  The biographies on these pages are of those men who put it on the line for us every Saturday night, even if only for a small number of matches.  The main biographies are for those who rode at least 15 meetings for Halifax - but the rest are all included, even if for just one match!

The Miscellany page for each season contains details of those who rode for the Junior Dukes/Tudors, and anyone who rode in second half outings - but if they rode for the Dukes' 1-7, they are included in the biographies.  Guest riders are not included.

Many thanks to Terry Warren c/o numerous Halifax programmes for the information and detail in several of these biographies!
