Freddie Williams discovered
Speedway in 1947 and rode
JAPs throughout. In those
pre-Kevlar days, 50-60mph
was roughly the limit. But the
action was every bit as tough.
In 1950 and 1953 Freddie won
the World Championship, and
looks set to do it again. The
damage done? Broken leg
and collar bone and smashed
ankle. Regrets? None.
