speedyguy Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Tony and Steve Langdon were part of the Aussie invasion at Poole from the mid 80s along with Stan Bear,Craig Boyce,Leigh Adams.Probably more.Due maybe to neil Street connection ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Let's get this clear. Steve LangTon and Steve LangDon are different riders. I accept the facts on Steve LangDon. Steve LangTon was an old pal of mine at Southampton in the early 1950s. he started speedway at Toowoomba in Queensland along with Phil 'Tiger" Hart around 1926-27. Both came to England and were firm friends. Pre-war Langton rode for among other tracks Southampton, Walthamstow and Birmingham. After the 1939-45 war (he served as a Sgt-Major in Australian Army) he rode from 1947 to 1951 firstly at Tamworth then at Southampton again. He went back to Brisbane Australia and raced there until late 1950s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbold Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I think Steve Langton may have been the first Australian to use the foot forward method of riding. He was certainly an early exponent of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there were two Australian brothers at Eastbourne around 1958 one of whom went on to have rides at Swindon. I was wrong to give that surname - age creeping up on me I guess!

speedyguy Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Yep Stepen Barr, ex Stoke and Boston. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes. He was a brave little rider. Deserved more success. The brothers at Eastbourne in the late 1950s were Maurice and Noel Conway. And in 1948 at Bradford/Halifax I remember Owen Gyles who I think was killed or certainly seriously injured at his first meeting in Britain.

speedyguy Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Talking of getting killed, there was Dave Wills, Australian youngster who rode for West Ham Talking of West Ham, there was Ray Cresp. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I remember Ray Cresp riding for Rye House in the Southern Area League and later signing for Wembley. I think he was a protege of Jack Biggs - another great Aussie rider. Can anyone confirm what did happen to Owen Gyles in 1948 - did he die or just seriously injured and forced into retirement. A tragedy either way. And there was also an Australian who was killed in a practice session at Exeter in the late 1950s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
