Harold 'Tiger' Stevenson (born 1 November 1907, date of death unknown) was a Speedway who rode for the West Ham Hammers from 1929 until 1939 in early pioneer days, captaining the club for most of them. He was captain for their first ever meeting on 2 May 1929 at home to Coventry and was still the captain in 1937 when the Hammers won the National League Championship. He was born in London, England.[1]
When the West Ham Stadium at Custom House was demolished in 1973, one of the roads built on the site was named after Stevenson.[2] During the sixties Tiger managed the Red Star Tyre Service in Katherine Road East Ham. He was kind enough to visit our motorcycle club (Barking and East Ham District) as a speaker when he provided us with a very entertaining evening with his memories of early speedway days, he was a gifted speaker and a very likeable man
