For “Just This Once

-He's Still On The Job

By "NTACA"

Our Personality for this Week has never broken a cycling record, never had his name among the winners, in fact is not really a racing cyclist at all-yet. In spite of this, he and his ilk are some of the indispensables of the Cycling Gamer Without them there would be no Sport as we know it today.

THE CHINA - MAIL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1955.

Sgt. George Clegg, of the RAOC, is the official Timekeeper to the NTACA, and one of the very few qualified to act in that capacity in Open events and Record attempts. He became a Timekeeper almost by accident. On February 17, 1954, he.. took the place of the then Timekeeper, WO Robinson, "For just this once only".

Since then he has seen his "South China Morning Post" Best All Rounder Time Trial Cup. name on nearly every Finishing
