Weren't Robert Nagy and Robert Csillik paired together at Glasgow?

I'm sure that Kai Niemi and Veijo Tuoriniemi would have ridden together at Eastbourne in 1979?

1979 and 1980 Tuoriniemi  ( RIP) put three points on his average in 1980 averaged only 2.96 in 1979.He had a nightmare seven meetings for the Robins in 1981 scoring only 2 points in seven meetings.

Talking of Eastbourne, let's not forget the fantastic Polish pair of Jozef Kafel and Jan Puk, who rode together against Sheffield in 1980.

Wilbur Lamoreaux and Miny Waln rode together a few times for the Dons in 1937,

From memory didn’t two Germans ride for Preston together pre-war ? 
I know two rode for Somerset. Maybe 3.Kröger and Loof. And Katt ?

Arnold Stolting and Fritz Niemeck came over in 1930, although I don't believe either made the team, but Gustav Kellner did make a few appearances the following year.

Remember Roman Jankowski on his visit to Swindon recording a 12 point maximum!

Yes remember that Steve, i  remember Toni Kasper getting a paid maximum there to.Also  Sigalos scored a full 15 from reserve in 1979( he never met Kilb though so unusual) the biggest shock though was Einar Kylingstad getting a full 15 for Kings Lynn at the Abbey.Back to the topic Autrey/ Gresham 1980 Swindon.

I witnessed all those achievements Sid! Used to enjoy my trips to Swindon...as for Gresham? A nutter on a bike but apparently has mellowed over the years!

Met him once such a nice bloke, Gresh certainly kept Holloway on his toes in there partnership.That partnership was one of the few that could beat Grahame/ Collins Cradley   Gresh was one of my favourites at Swindon nobody messed with him that’s for sure.

Well, the OP stated "other than England, Australia, Sweden etc" (which I would take to include Denmark), so I think we should just focus on the minor speedway nations...
