Hot Shoe Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 I wonder if anyone can help in my search for old photos of Tommy Leadbitter from any stage of his career in speedway/grasstrack,if you can point me in the direction of any web sites with photos or indeed if you yourself have any photos you would be willing to let me have ( obviously I would purchase them for a small fee .)....any help would be gratefully accepted <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I haven't got any photos but there is an interesting two-page article by Peter Arnold on Tom in "The Speedway Annual" 1969 - Tom towing his bikes around the country in his MGB GT and wanting to be 250 British Motocross Champion - Ah, those were the days! I have a programme from a Moto X meeting in Farnham, Surrey in the early 1970s that i went to and remember speaking to Tom during races while he was preparing his Maicos.
