"Forsberg is a pretty common name, there was no relationship between them. Dan was from Vaggeryd, but mainly rode for Vargarna. He was Sweden's first ever world finalist in 1952, when he was just 18 years. Finished joint fifth. That was a huge sensation. He had went on his own to a training school at Ringwood i England and was then offered a place with Birmingham. That made him really good. During 1952 he was among the most well-known sportsmen in Sweden in any sport, was awarded various prizes for his fantastic results, but could never really repeat it in later seasons. He was only 25 when he retired, following a very bad crash at Wiener Neustadt. He released a book about his life in 2022, very good one ( danforsberg.se) His son Raymond rode speedway in the 70's and 80's and grandson Billy in early 2000's. Birger was from Skellefteå in the north of Sweden, where speedway was held in the early 50's. He was a very tough rider and became popular in England. He started his career with non league club Norrskenen (Northern Lights) and then joined Stockholm club Monarkerna. Kaj was from Eskilstuna and started his career with Smederna. Liked Australia so much after a speedway tour to that country that he decided to remain there for the rest of his life. He rode speedway in Australia in the early 60's. Roger was from Gothenburg and rode for Kaparna. He also remained in Australia after a trip to that country, but returned home after a few years."

Hi, Birger rode 2 time in World Long Track championship (1957-6th, 1958-12th). Four times he rode in swedish final. The best place was 8th in 1955. He represented Monarkerna Sztokholm 1951-1960 (2 gold medals 1955 and 1956). Kaj rode one time in swedish final (1957 - 9 th). In swedish league he represented Smederna Eskilstuna (1952-1954), Filbyterna Linkoping (1955, 1958), Getingarna Sztokholm (1956, 1957), Vargarna Norrkoping (1958). There he has 3 medals (1952 - silver, 1953 - bronze, 1955- bronze). Roger rode one time in swedish final (1957 - 15 th). In swedish league he represented Kaparna Goeteborg (1955-1959). There he has 3 medals (1955 - silver, 1957 - bronze, 1959 - bronze).

Thank you arnieg. George Hislop was a regular second-halfer at Edinburgh in 1988 - thank you. Are you sure about the Oxford date? Is it the SEMI FINAL on 8 May 1988. Ian Batley was a regulqar second-halfer at Oxford that year though - you are right it was semi-final. He rode in any league meeting? The Long Eaton date is 1985 and David Biles of Poole is listed at no 15 in the programme - It was 1985. Your are right.

Does anyone can confirm names and surname these riders: Edinburgh - 8th April - World Championship British QR - 1988 Reserve 2. G? Hisloy Oxford - 8th April - World Championship British QR - 1988 Reserve Ian Batley ? Long Eaton - 17th April - World Championship British QR - 1988 12th Davis Bilde ? I think is something wrong with them.

Does anyone help me? Please.

Ron Dirkin rode in Newcastle United in 1929. Roy Dirkin rode in Liverpool in 1929. Is the same person?

The Daily Mirror, London of March 28 28 publishes a picture of a giant Jamaican on a motorcycle, with the following footnote: He wants to be a speedway rider. Wilfried McIntosh, a 6ft. 6in. negro from Jamaica, with Johnnie Hoskins, manager of West Ham, who is to give him his big chance. With them is Eric Chitty, West Ham's new Canadian rider.

Does anyone hear about Wilfried McIntosh planed come to England in 1936 with Johnie Hoskins?

Hi Chunky! It is my mistake. Results are from 1930 no from 1927.

Cincinati-Hamilton - 10.08.1930 Art Pechar (New Heaven) won national championship in Cincinati-Hamilton Speedway in 1930. Second was Miny Waln (Los Angeles), third was Water Stoddard (Hagerstown) and fourth was John Dudlak (Chicago).

Does anyone have more details about championship 1933 and 1936?
