He was responsible for forming the East London Cycle Speedway League consisting of Beckton Aces. Stratford Hammers and Forest Gate Tigers. This was a well organised league with regular matches and good crowds attending matches mainly on bomb site tracks. The Daily Mirror called us skid kids. Len Silver designed a special cycle speedway bike that was manufactured by Philips bike factory. A photo of Len and the bike appeared in the national newspapers i think it was the Daily Herald. i hope this has been of some help to you.All the best Jimbo aka Jim Chalkley.
