Arthur Warwick

Arthur Ernest Warwick (18 August 1908 – 7 March 1982) was an international motorcycle speedway rider from England.

Despite the success by Stamford Bridge during the 1932 season, the team dropped out of the league and the management at Wimbledon Dons brought him into their team for the season,[4] only for Wimbledon to then replace him with Syd Jackson shortly afterwards.

[5] Warwick was disillusioned by the situation and considered leaving the sport but he did help out the Clapton Saints as an injury replacement but was not allowed to sign for them permanently.

[6][7] In 1934, he signed for West Ham Hammers on loan from Wimbledon (because he was on their retained list) where he spent the last two years of his speedway career.

[10] The speedway scenes from the 1933 film Britannia of Billingsgate were shot at Hackney Wick Stadium and featured some of the leading riders in Britain at the time including Warwick, Colin Watson, Tom Farndon, Gus Kuhn, Claude Rye and Ron Johnson.
