The driver of the Skirrow midget car in this photo, taken in 1951 at Coventry, was also a leading rider for the Bees speedway team. Can you name him?

Johnnie Reason?

Spot on! And after football and midget car racing I am certain that Johnnie Reason became a director of Coventry City FC.

Yes indeed, Johnnie Reason was involved in transactions regarding the purchase and transfer of land (all above board) sold together with the football club's ground at Highfield Road prior to the ill-fated move to the Ricoh Arena.

Didn't Johnny Reason (before my time) end up a gazillionaire-and was his wife's family pretty rich-if so good on him.!!

After speedway he set up a haulage business.  His father-in-law was a coach operator.
