Sad to hear of the passing of Ian Williams, the third of three famous racing brothers. Ian was Swindon Captain, and was a World Finalist in 1957. He was 93.

Sad to see another world finalist is no longer with us.

Condolences to the family. 

I remember watching Ian load his bike after a meeting and thinking that his handlebars were the widest I had ever seen on a speedway bike.

What, even wider than your hero's?

When Newport opened in 1964, there were rumours that Ian might be persuaded to return from retirement, to ride for this new Welsh track. Sadly nothing transpired and I never got to see him ride. R.I.P Ian
