Les Sharpe

Leslie Charles Sharpe (born 12 July 1944) is a former international motorcycle speedway rider from Australia.

[2] He was recommended to the Halifax manager Reg Fearman by former Australian rider Aub Lawson.

[4][5] In July 1970, he would gain a call up for the Great Britain team, which at the time could include Commonwealth riders, for the test matches against Sweden.

[6] Despite the successful 1970 season, he chose not to race in Britain from 1971 to 1972, partly due to issues regarding his licence with the Rider Control Committee.

[7] Sharpe returned to Halifax for the 1973 British League season[8] before going back to Australia.
