The Late Bobby Hyslop Of Blantyre

[grizzle09]

A few year ago I met Bobby through a stray bird of mine that had trapped to him from a hard race. After getting to know bobby he gifted me a bird. Its turned out to be my best stock cock and has bred me a few very nice pigeons. Not knowing much about Bobby or the pigeons he flew can anyone tell me a bit about his background

 

cheers lee

WAS HE NOT FROM COALBURN AREA HE WAS A GOOD FANCIER

[sammy]

think he came from the motherwell area and died last year and think it was mainly kirkpatrick pigeons he had maybe harky will know more as i think he flew in his club

[Big Davie]

I have been racing pigeons in Blantyre since the mid sixties and dont ever recall a Bobby Hyslop

[grizzle09]

the ring number of the bird gifted is SU 03 L 8848 he retired this bird to stock after winning his fair share of races for bobby. if anyone can remember or dig up any old results it would be a great help. I think bobby was best known for his family of grizzles the rout of this family of birds were bred from a bird he had a great win with ( THE SPARROW ) I think he flew in the CAMBUSNETHAN & MORNINGSIDE CLUB'S cheers

[JohnQuinn]

Yes Bobby flew in Camby up until he passed away ( last year? ). He was a great friend of my father for many many years and i think he flew in the Motherwell fc at one time too. Don't have any details of his birds i'm afraid but "Jocky" on here might be the man to fill in the blanks for you. atvb John.
