Your Memories Of Polish Riders In British League

(...) THE arrival of the Sparta team at Wimbledon on Good Friday April 19 1957 virtually drove promoter Ronnie Greene 'up the pole.'

Plough Lane boss Greene had been expecting the Polish national side and was far from happy to find his visitors were only a Warsaw-based league team. Their appearance in the capital that day is still very much a talking point.

 

Where did you get  "a Warsaw based league team" from, Gustix?

You're right that it was Polish League team called "Sparta", but "Sparta" is, and always has been, based in WROCLAW, not Warsaw.
