I know of 2 R. Harrisons

1 ...... Bob, who was an old timer with Belle Vue, in the main, both pre & post-war

2 ...... Ray, who was an aussie who came over in 1959 and rode at Belle Vue and Ipswich

 

 

 

An there was Bob Harrison who rode for Aldershot and, I think, also for Long Eaton.

And what about Rex Harrison? Granted his speedway career took a bit of a back seat behind starring in stage and film musicals but I reckon he might have been one of the greats - leg trailing while singing The Rain In Spain? haha :D

And at California

 

 

My understanding of the Bob Harrison who rode for the Shots was that he was the pre-war former World finalist and he retired mid-way through the 1950 season having ridden around 19 matches and averaging just under 6. Can't find any record of him riding afterwards for the Archers though.
