Guest Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 George Mudgway was a New Zealander who was with Bradford in 1947. In New Zealand he was a leading performer in grass track and speedway. He had an impressive reputation in his homeland in a career that dated back to the mid-1930s. I think that he came from Auckland. I would be interested in more background regarding his New Zealand racing career. Mudgway only had the one season in Britain.

Jade Mudgway is from NZ and rode here a few years back, he now lives in the north and will be Redcar team manager in the coming season, could be linked?

Guest Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Forwarded message sent by Bob Andrews === George Mudgway rode at Western Springs as his home Track, his brother Bill Mudgway was the Speedway announcer for years and was the Voice Of Speedway, George was also a very good Golfer, and When I first went to N.Z. George was the Referee at The "Springs" he was a N.Z. Maori, and this was the "Gimmick" that Johnnie Hoskins wanted at Bradford where George rode, I don't think there is a family connection with Jade Mudgway.
