Francis Owen Dolan (2 April 1915 – 12 July 1988) was an Australian motorcycle speedway rider.
[1] Dolan, born in Sydney, was noticed by the England captain Jack Parker riding in Australia in early 1938.
He persuaded Dolan and fellow Australian Ray Duggan to travel with him to the United Kingdom.
[3][4] In 1939, he rode for Harringay but then lost six years of his career due to World War II.
[5] On his return to British speedway in 1947, he was once again a Harringay rider[6] and averaged a respectable 8.05 for the season.
