Bavarian Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Does anyone have a chronological list of all the official England (and GB) speedway team managers we ever had through the years since 1930? Who was the longest serving, who was the most successful, who was the worst ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve roberts Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 59 minutes ago, Bavarian said: Are there no records kept of who was England Team Manager from year to year ? I think that I'm right that Len became the first "official Team Manager" as prior to that it was on an ad hoc basis? Len became manager between 1973 - 76 and again in 1981 -1983. John Berry was manager in 1977 - 79 and again in 1985. Ian Thomas and Eric Boocock in 1980. Eric Boocock and John Berry in 1981 but John resigned. Wally Mawdesly in 1984. Carl Glover in 1986. Colin Pratt and Eric Boocock in 1987 - 1989. Reg Fearman took charge on trips "Down Under" I recall as did John Berry (certainly during 1975/76) I'm only going on memory but I'm sure there are many out there who can provide a more comprehensive and/or accurate list? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bavarian Posted June 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Thanks @steve roberts I'm surprised to learn that there were no "official" England / GB team managers before 1973. I wonder who managed the England teams in the famous test series against Australia and other nations during the 1930s, '40s, '50s and 60's then ?

I think that Dent Oliver's name was mentioned and Jack Parker rode as Captain and Team Manager (?) and Frank Varey may have played a role but I'm really not sure. Having read John Berry's book he did quote that when England/Great Britain rode it was often the Home Promoter/Team Manager who took charge? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBBATH Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 I seem to recall that Dent Oliver "looked after" the England team for a while, but agree re John Berry's comment that it was often just the home promoter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 For the division 2 test series of the early 1970's, a horses for courses manager was appointed for every meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the England captain pre-war was basically the man in charge. At least on the trips to Oz. Think even with the football team there was no proper manager until after WW2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BL65 Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 The mid-1960s saw a number of team managers for Great Britain and England. In 1964 Tommy Price was team manager for the tests against USSR, which GB won 3-0. During 1965, when GB defeated USSR 5-0, Charles Foot took charge at Wimbledon and Coventry, Charles Ochiltree at Sheffield, Mike Parker at Belle Vue and Ronnie Greene at Newport. Vic Gooden was team manager when GB beat Poland 3-0 in 1966. The same year, England defeated USSR 4-1, managed by Bill Bridgett at Newcastle, Frank Varey at Halifax, Mike Parker at Wolverhampton and Charles Ochiltree at West Ham. I don't have a note of the team manager for the test at Exeter. Bill Bridgett was the losing team manager. Charles Foot managed the England team beaten by Sweden at Exeter in 1967. GB beat Poland 3-2 that year, managed by Wally Mawdsley at West Ham (lost), Ronnie Greene at Poole, Charles Ochiltree at Wolverhampton, Ron Wilson at Halifax (lost) and Ian Hoskins at Newcastle, 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone help by filling in some of the blanks (or advise of any errors/amendments required) please? In the late 1940s one programme referred to the team being selected jointly by Alec Jackson of Wembley and Fred Mockford of New Cross. Jackson was named in the programme as manager for the 1952 test at Belle Vue, but a subsequent team photograph included Mockford as manager. It is likely that the team managers for 1959 (Swindon) and 1961 (Belle Vue and Southampton) would have been from the staging tracks, in keeping with the other internationals between 1959 and 1961.

Thanks. I don't recall the team manager being named in the Exeter programme and I don't have a copy of the Poole programme; the information I had was taken from 'The Complete History of the British League'.

iris123 Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Managed to track down the H. Tovey who I mentioned was manager of the team in Australia in 1950-51. Also was the manager on the next tour according to the photo here. But who was he ? http://justsolos.homestead.com/molly5.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
