About 20 years ago, I was looking at some Antiques with a friend who wanted them taking to another location from a dealer he was dealing with. While there I mentioned my love of Speedway and the dealer showed me a very old Autograph Book from August 20th 1928.
The original owner of the book has obviously looked after this piece of speedway history and located inside are numerous very good pastel pictures they have drawn and poems in neat hand writing.
On a number of pages, it lists the date as August 20th 1928 and states it as being an England V Australia Test Match.
Among the many Autographs are
Sprouts Elder Vic Huxley Gus Khan Billy Lamont Jim Stevens J Bishop Larry Coffey Beu Unwin Reg Pointer Noel Johnson Charles Bellisues ? Colin Watson Bill Allen ? ? Selbutt ? Frank Austin Jim Kempster
If anyone knows any more details about this meeting or event (maybe a Festival of Speedway held at Stamford Bridge ? ) can they let me know on here please.
I have added an attachment with a picture of the cover (if it has worked) and would like to know more about it.
