Three recent speedway history books. 'Shelbourne Speedway, Dublin 1950-1954' and '50 Days of Speedway, Sunderland in 1964', both on eBay. 'Walthamstow Wolves, London's forgotten speedway team', from London League Publications and on Amazon and eBay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben91 1,743 Posted November 13, 2023 The last speedway book I read was Tai’s and to put it bluntly it was rubbish. Nobody should be releasing a book mid-career. If Jason Crump, Tony Rickardsson or one of the top names from the sport of the last 20-30 years (now retired) fancies writing an autobiography they can take my money. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
