In 1938 he was acclaimed as the British Best All-Rounder when his three best event performances were aggregated into 399 miles at 22.627 mph.[1] His achievements were celebrated in 1939 when Cycling Weekly awarded him his own page in the Golden Book of Cycling, which is now held in 'The Pedal Club' archive.[1] Personal lifeHarry Earnshaw lived in Royston, South Yorkshire{{citation needed|date=January 2012}} and was a natural athlete and cyclist. He worked as a coal-miner from school-leaving age (c. 1930) until 1938.[1][1] Harry was given the nickname "Shake" by a visiting uncle. Who after reading a popular magazine called "Fragments", within its pages were a series of cartoons featuring a sergeant-major glaring at a new recruit shouting "Before you come on parade tomorrow, Shakespeare get your hair cut." Turning to the young Harry, who had a good thick crop of dark hair, he said "Shakespeare, get your hair cut". This was adopted as his nickname and over the years, Shakespeare was shortened to "Shake" a name that stayed with him all his life.[2] CareerEarnshaw started road racing in 1935 when he was 18 years old, winning his first event, 25-miles in 1 hour 18 minutes despite several delays, a fall and mechanical damage. He was renowned as a tough, resilient, uncomplaining rider, coping with mechanical and physical set-backs.[1] In 1936 the 'Monckton Cycling Club', sponsored by Carlton Cycles* of Worksop,[3] won the team section of the British Best All-Rounder and Earnshaw was fifth in the individual listing.[1]
In the 1937 British Best All-Rounder, Earnshaw improved to third overall whilst Monckton C.C. again won the team prize.[1] He also won the 'Sheffield Phoenix 25 mile Time Trial in 1 hour, 1 minute 46 seconds.[4] In 1938 Earnshaw won the British Best All-Rounder with the record average speed of 22.627 mph. This was reward for his victory in the Westerley 100-mile competition in a record time of 4 hours 20 minutes 48 seconds, plus two seasons best performances of 50-miles in 2 hours 4 minutes 21 seconds and 249 miles in 12 hours.[1] The Golden BookHarry Earnshaw's achievements were celebrated in 1938 when Cycling Weekly awarded him his own page in the Golden Book of Cycling.[5] Later yearsIn his senior years he became an accomplished after dinner speaker, but later came the sad news of his multiple amputations, a decision which was made due to the clotting of the arteries in his legs, the result of which confined him to a wheelchair. Harry died on Thursday, 16 May 1985 aged 69.[2] References1. ^Curious Fox - Harry Shake Earnshaw {{DEFAULTSORT:Earnshaw, Harry}}2. ^1 "Shake", the Monckton Boys and the Hercules Professionals by Eric Auty 3. ^ClassicLightweights, Carlton Cycles, Author: Hilary Stone 4. ^Calder Clarion - History, Sheffield Phoenix 5. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 The Golden Book of Cycling - Harry Earnshaw, 1939.
