I started my racing at Eastbourne in the late 80s. I rode for Sittingbourne, Mildenhall and my last team was the relaunch of Rye House. In 1999_2000 season

You're very welcome. Unfortunately no. This video features Tom Farndon who is my Wife's Grandfather. Her Mother has lots of photos though.

This isnt from the 30's. Back then, Speedway riders smoked a pipe as they went round. Seriously, the Aussie captain at 3:17 doesnt half look like Peter Craven.

The first video shows a Wembley Test Match from 1933. Before starting tapes were invented.
