Probably the best in the modern era is that of "Romario"

But I don't think that his descendants "switch on" just because they're in the One Loft Arena

They do so because they're fundamentally just a bloody good pigeon
I have a youngster in German classic from that line Mike.

Best of luck with it George

The 1/2 brother of Romario has no real interest to me; but the daughter of Romario would

Mo Farah has a twin brother but you wouldn’t want him to run for your life

If you want a good one for £100 i can do that too

The only reason your £100 cock was £100 was that he’s not a fashionable family. If he was he’s a £1750 pjgeon

Next YB season i expect his YB to be pleasing you
Fingers crossed

His parents were excellent racer / breeders

So were all his g-parents

You aren’t asking him to do anything different

Yes it's a case of wait and see Mike.
