British Cycling Hall of Fame, Gala Dinner 2010
Cycling legends from the past 50 years of the sport were officially inducted into British Cycling's Hall of Fame on Saturday night in Manchester during the organisation's 50th anniversary Gala Dinner.
50 riders, organisers and other leading lights in the world of cycling were included in the ceremony.
Among those inducted were seven-time World Champion Beryl Burton, eight times Tour de France stage winner Barry Hoban and Tom Simpson who died during the 1967 Tour de France while climbing Mont Ventoux.
Those inductees present at the dinner included Chris Boardman, Peter King, Peter Keen, Craig MacLean, Paul Manning, Eileen Grey, Tim Gould and Caroline Alexander.
Sky news presenter Dermot Murnaghan hosted the evening in front of an audience of 700 at Manchester Central.
The Hall of Fame was conceived by British Cycling to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The public were invited to make nominations from all factes of the sport, and a judging panel then selected the final 50. More names will be added in future years.

words fail me ,while the names quoted may deserve some recognition which could be added later,I would have thought names such as percy stallard, dave orford,tony hewson,david duffield!!!!& even my friend,doug petty? should have initialy been included, but then again apart from ps. rest in pease,we must all be in our late 70s.so what do we know about cycling!!!!!!? .you will have to be over 70 to understand what i am talking about, so that rules out nearly all in power at ''british cycling'!!! best wishes to all who know me,keep those pedals turning.hadyn bosher @ 77 in thailand.

What a shame they all come from the last 50 years. Didn't we have great cyclists before then?
