Walter Bruce Semmens (27 December 1914 – 4 September 1988) was a motorcycle speedway rider from England.
Coventry Bees made an unsuccessful attempt in March, offering £1,250[4] while Semmens continued to impress for Sheffield.
Belle Vue Aces in the top league, signed Semmens for £2,000 in June[5] and the 1949 season proved to be extremely successful, because he won the National Trophy with the Manchester team and topped the entire division two averages with Sheffield, recording 10.47.
[6] In January 1950, Semmens signed a contract to ride on ice, in Sweden and Finland for three months.
[7] On his return, after starting for Belle Vue, he agreed to join Wimbledon Dons, as a replacement for Jimmie Gibb and Bill Pitcher[8] but then rode for Ashfield Giants.
