This issue looks back at the dramatic run off for the British Riders Championship title at Wembley between Jack Parker and Bill Kitchen.
The year brought a number of deaths on track and the passing of a speedway legend at Belle Vue.
We look at the title winning Wembley Lions, Middlesbrough Bears and Eastbourne Eagles; give you the stats, facts and all the league results for the year, as well as an in-depth look at Wembley’s second post-war title success!
We describe the year in some detail and see which comedy duo turned up to entertain the fans at Bristol one July evening and look back at the row between Vic Duggan and the sports top body, the SCB!
With some of the great photography of the year to look at and a series Ashes win for the Brits, it’s all in this action packed nostalgic look back at one of sports great seasons.
