Starting in the latter part of the 1950s speedway sometimes used an S too many, hence Bjorn Knutson became Knutsson in programmes and magazines, Mike Broadbank was Broadbanks and Chris Julian was Julians for a long time.

There's always been spelling mistakes in programmes, but this thread is about finding any 2 riders who had similar names which differed only by one letter.

No, the rider who won the World Championship was Bjorn Knutson. However his name was often spelt wrongly with two s's for most of his career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So apart from this chap who won the world championship https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Björn_Knutsson , there isn't another different rider with a similar name which differs by just one letter as we are looking for on this thread?
