Gary Graham Christopher Guglielmi (born 14 February 1958 in Sydney, New South Wales) is a former Australian international Speedway rider who represented Australia in both test matches and in the World Pairs Championship.
This could have easily been a World Championship win for Guglielmi had Sanders, who was otherwise undefeated on the day (and the track record holder at Ullevi), not fallen in turn two on lap one of Heat 16 when the Aussie pair faced the out of form West Germans Egon Müller and Karl Maier.
Sanders had won the start from Guglielmi but was excluded (by Australian referee Sam Bass) for causing the race to be stopped.
Guglielmi then easily won the re-run from the Germans and Australia ultimately finished one point behind England pair Peter Collins and Kenny Carter.
He rode in the United Kingdom for the Boston Barracudas[2] and the Coventry Bees until 1984 when he was banned for a year by the Australian speedway authorities and served a prison sentence after being convicted of a drugs offence in Australia.
