Respected speedway historian Norman Jacobs has asked me to relay this request:
I've just received this email from Ray Emslie:
"There was a story in my family that my father, Leslie Emslie, once rode for the Rye House club. From what little information I have I would imagine the period to be in the late 1940s. I would be most grateful if you could shed any light on this possibility."
Neither I nor John Chaplin nor John Hyam recognise the name. Can anyone here shed any light on Leslie Emslie?
Incidentally, Ray says he was named after former New Cross and Harringay rider, Ray Duggan (Vic's brother), who was tragically killed in a racing accident in 1950.
