TwoMinuteWarning 69 Posted September 3, 2004 Someone has contacted me after seeing the name of his father, Bruce Ovenden, on my website. He wants to know about his speedway career. All I know is that he was a Kiwi (or maybe Aussie?) who rode here in the mid-1960s for, I think, Scottish teams mainly. Can anyone help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 24 Posted September 3, 2004 My recollection is that Bruce (he was a Kiwi) joined Glasgow White City when they reopened in 1964, having just arrived in the country with another Aussie, Joe Hicks. He was there for a couple of seasons, but didn't pull up too many trees. I remember him as a very long-legged rider with a style which seemed awkward. I don't know what happened to him after that - I always assumed he went home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
