Brian Collins (speedway rider)

Brian John Collins (born 13 May 1948 in Edinburgh, Scotland) is a former motorcycle speedway rider.

[1][2][3] Collins spent the first four years of his British speedway career with Edinburgh Monarchs from 1966 to 1969, although they were known as Coatbridge from 1968 to 1969.

Also in 1975, Collins finished runner up in the 1975 The National League Riders Championship at Wimbledon.

Then, Brian Clarke, in third place, fell off in the same spot and Collins went past him for the vital 1 point.

With just two riders in the run-off Laurie Etheridge rode across Collins before the first bend and Collins picked himself up from the track and watched from the centre green as Etheridge completed four laps to become champion.
