Last met Eddie at Blackpool circa 2000 with pal John bosworth and had a great wee chat with scotlands greatest ever fancier which was for me a wee dream as like others his racing exploits made him one of my heroes,a great loss to the pigeon sport and obviously his family.rip Edwin Newcombe.

An SNFC legend.. a sad loss

 

Has anyone got any loft reports on him?

My dad done a write up on eddie for the homing world stud book I think mid seventies called king of the skies unfortunately haven't managed to find a copy but do remember it was the only time ever my dad used a tape recorder over two days at Macmerry about 16 hours of eddie talking about his birds maybe some of the older members on here might be able to put a copy on here
