Dicky Case

He travelled to Germany in 1931 with Max Grosskreutz to promote speedway there, but the venture was short-lived due to opposition from the government.

[6] He was the Wolves captain and top points scorer in 1935 and repeated the feat in 1936, as well as riding in the inaugural Speedway World Championship final at Wembley.

In 1937 Case was beaten to the top spot in the Hackney team by Cordy Milne but announced he was retiring from the sport.

[3] The Wolves dropped down a division in 1938 and after injury to the captain Frank Hodgson in the 1939 season, they announced that Case would be making a comeback to cover for the injured skipper.

[8][9][10] During World War II, most speedway racing had ended but Rye House managed to promote several.
