The Speedway Years - 1952

We look at how Aussie Jack Young became the first rider in speedway history to win back to back World Finals, and take an in-depth look at how, against all the odds, the ageing Wembley Lions simply blew away their league opposition by a staggering 11 points margin.
Poole and Rayleigh are both winners too and featured in this, our 29th, edition of the acclaimed 'The Speedway Years'.
We bring you all the league tables, stats, facts and results with great photos and memorabilia from a memorable campaign and highlight the problems England had in their two test series against the old enemy, Australia.
One man who had problems too in ‘52 was Harringay’s Split Waterman, we tell his tale too.
