BL65 655 Posted October 1, 2019 Les scored an impressive 10 points at Wimbledon in a World Championship Qualifying Round in 1955 and scored well for 2nd Division Rayleigh in a challenge at home to Wimbledon, following which he made guest appearances for the Dons against Odsal and Norwich in National League fixtures, together with home and away challenges against Wembley. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted October 1, 2019 Thanks for the info, i didn't realise my photo was as early as 1955. Age does play tricks with the memory sometimes!. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly the older data is league matches only.. More recent seasons contain other official competitions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) I don't know about Les and Jim McGillivray but I am certain that before taking to speedway Sandy was a leading exponent of cycle speedway. Edited October 20, 2019 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you read the article posted by Midland Red (the very first reply on this thread), it does state that Sandy was National Champion in 1958.

When I made my query I had a feeling the query would backfire on me snd so it proved. I guess that I am getting too old for forums and - news that will please many BSF users - need to restrict my participation on BSF speedway history and other threads.

Yes, I am defending you... What it comes down to is that you need to read (properly) what is posted. Don't worry, there are a lot of people younger than you who don't do that either...
