http://www.dn.se/sport/150-framsta-svenska-idrottarna-genom-tiderna/ This Swedish newspaper poll ranks Tony Rickardsson at 46 but no other Speedway riders I noticed. The Swedes have always been enlightened about Speedway and I thought Fundin or Nygren at least would have been here, would we get any in a UK poll?

Phillips used a Rudge and the Rudge was the inspiration behind the all conquering JAP, and the argument was settled between the upright engine and the low slung Douglas. He advocated lay down engines and a few were made here and there over the years though I don't know if he actually made any himself or rode one. Off subject he also made a fuel injector that was sold by Hagon and some Speedway riders used them, I saw Peter Collins try one on a Weslake at Hackney in a second half.

I had the pleasure of watching Dag often at Tilehurst when the sport was big in Reading, and later he was an outstanding number one for the Rebels at Oxford. Superb stylist and so effortless, his prowess in the wet came from practicing on ice in Norway on a conventional speedway bike it was said. He was the last man to ride a JAP in a world final but in the end they couldn't get it to work with the silencer. His elder brother Ulf was a good rider and a tough guy, a Norwegian army sergeant.
