The cine film of cycle speedway, was it Leicester blackbird monarchs as I seem to recognise willi burns and John knock around 1963/4 I rode in the combination team for a short while . Regards from Jeff bamford
When my dad took me to Cradley Heath speedway in 1948 there were massive crowds My dad was a mate of Alan Hunt he took me to Alan and Eve Hunt wedding Phil MALPASS LesTolly were there but I was a big fan and when the provincial league started Harry Bastable Ivor Brown fantastic my favourite national league riders were BJORN KNUTSON Ove Fundin and Peter CRAVEN met him only about 4 feet 9 inches but he was great
I started my racing at Eastbourne in the late 80s. I rode for Sittingbourne, Mildenhall and my last team was the relaunch of Rye House. In 1999_2000 season
This isnt from the 30's. Back then, Speedway riders smoked a pipe as they went round. Seriously, the Aussie captain at 3:17 doesnt half look like Peter Craven.
Excellent video many thanks for posting.
Now were talkin' ! This is the bee's knee's ! Amazing footage. ❤
Opening night at shawfield Glasgow 1988, I was there watching.

When speedway was as big football in this country , such a shame its nothing what it used to be now .
Great footage! Looks like they peeped the track with a trencher,how in the World did those guys hang on?

The first video shows a Wembley Test Match from 1933. Before starting tapes were invented.
Brilliant. before speedway got sanitised and became boring.
