dkj Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 jock allan is one of the all time greats in distance racing into scotland
dava Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 what a cracking article on one of the all time greats in distance racing ,what a fantastic team of pigeons he must have had, a man ahead of his time
dunc50 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 can mind old kerr stainthorp told me one of the allans was on the batter and went out to the woods and buried his money box and when sober he could not remember where he buried it and never found it lol
alec guinness Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 Have read that article so many times over the years,what a fancier he was and what a family of birds that have won for so many fanciers some credited and some not,I was very lucky to have been gifted 5 chipping eggs from jock all hatched and all bred SNFC prizewinning birds including 1st section 15th open alencon,jocks record in the 1970s and 80s was really unbelievable and he continued winning top SNFC positions right up to the millennium,I had the pleasure to handle some fantastic birds at jocks and also learned so much from this legend of a fancier who as we know was not everyone's cup of tea but he was definitely my pigeon racing hero.
