Tommy Price
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tommy Price (born 1911 Cambridge) was an international Speedway rider. In 1949 he won the first Speedway World Championship to be held after the Second World War.[1] Following his retirement, Tommy opened a small engineering workshop in Wembley, North London where he was able to produce small quantities of specialist items for riders. Often these would have been economically non-viable for larger companies and Tommy was seen as a saviour by many a 'Rocker' of the day.
