Split Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Yes, Stefan Kwoczala rode for Leicester in 1960. He was their second top scorer behind Ken McKinlay, scoring 228+20 in 26 matches. I recall seeing Stefan Kwoczala ride at New Cross. He was a world class rider who came 7th in the 1960 world final. I believe a serious injury cut his career short.

TwoMinuteWarning Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Everybody seems to have forgotten the very first Polish rider to appear in the UK Max Rech was a fighter pilot in the war, he later settled in Devon or Cornwall, and rode for St Austell in their league teams in the early to mid 1950's.

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Not checked to see if he's been mentioned but in 1976, Leicester had a Pole: Grzegorz Szczepani.. Reckon he was the only Pole ever to ride at Crayford (in the Lions' 40-38 win in the Inter League Cup that year..)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Ha, ha, ha..! I DID say I hadn't checked!!!! I remember Jerzy Rembas, didn't he ride well in a World Final at Wembley, always think of him as being ok. Same with Cieslak, when he rode for White City. Yes Rembras (then also with Leicester) lost a run-off for third in the 1978 WF. Marek had been a very important part of the Rebels' BL winning team of the year before.

Seem to remember watching Zenon ride at London Road a couple of times for Hackney in 4TT's......possibly in the Collins Bros 4TT's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
