Sad to see the passing of folk that have been part of the sport for so many years. Who are the other two pre war riders?

Sad to see the passing of folk that have been part of the sport for so many years. Who are the other two pre war riders? In the UK they are Arthur Pilgrim and Jack 'Riskit' Riley. Worldwide there are a couple of others - in Australia and the USA.
