You don't see many of Andre's pigeons in the Uk really but he's a superb flier

See here for more info on him https://www.pipa.be/en/fanciers/9505/roodhooft-andre

Did you have birds from him Mike, or any of the other continental greats?

I had them from there best mate
Roody , turbo Joe . Rambo , Jean . Little Joe Mustard etc that would be about 2009-11
Never really made use of them as I got a contract with a area to do with Olympic park remodel and didn’t race during the 4 -5 years I actually didn’t race to 2017 again thinking about it
Couldn’t turn it down really

Hi Dave

In terms of the Roodhoofts I raced a very small number of them in 2018

They were bred by Gary and Niall Gordon from their directs that they purchased from Andre himself

I can't think of a Roodhooft that they bred me that didn't score to be honest.

Decent pigeons - Andre's an exceptional flier
