Mark Evans

There’s no one more pleased than I am that our bloodlines are playing a major roll in the loft of George and Willie Macaloney, but credit must go to these two outstanding fanciers for their ambition, sheer hard work and dedication, their wise knowledge of the racing pigeon and the racing game, has made their loft on many occasions, winners of that red card, week-in and week-out, and has consistently done so for many years. Well done George & Willie, I now congratulate you on your outstanding performances, which would compare with the best world-wide. Best regards Mark Evans

Hello everyone, My name is Mark Evans better known as M & D. Evans. Myrtle Lofts. I noticed a post on this forum about the world famous Bert Cooper (S.B.Cooper) and I wanted to reply to say I was lucky enough too have meet this great fancier. Since joining I have notice several interesting posts on this site. keep up the good work Mark Evans

Bert Cooper (S.B.Cooper) lived only a mile from myself in a village called East Cowick in East Yorkshire and I had the great pleasure in meeting this fantastic pigeon fanciers when I came into the sport at only 8 years old. Bert’s own bloodlines was a mixture of several top sprint, middle and long distance strains which was made up by himself and was selected on performances alone. He would only keep the best and believe me second best was never good enough. When I meet Bert them many years ago he had to his name over one thousand testimonials from different fanciers winning with is bloodlines which is why he was so well known around the world. In his day he was the best fancier with the best pigeons and performances proved that fact. I am not sure if any of these bloodlines are still around today and very much doubt that anyone as managed to keep these family lines together strong enough for to days competition. I would be interested to know if anyone is still racing S.B.Cooper bloodlines Regards Mark Evans
