Good post. More realistic than the speedway museum link, which is as ever, a bit dodgy 

See you next Tuesday.

There was Matti Olin at Coventry (1974) followed by Ila and Pepe Teromaa at Leicester and Kai Niemi at White City (later Eastbourne). Pajari rode in the UK in 1959...not sure if he was the first but I would hazzard a guess and say that he was?

An elderly gentleman was met recently who had claimed to be the first Finn ever to ride in the UK. So that would be before Pajari.

Was an interesting encounter I’m told...
