Wally Green

Walter Stanley Green (25 February 1918[1] – 11 December 2006) was an international motorcycle speedway rider who finished second in the World Championship final in 1950.

[3] Green started his career with the West Ham Hammers in 1946 after being spotted at a training school run by Dicky Case.

He and Jock Grierson formed a partnership at Eastbourne that became known as the 'Terrible Twins' due to the fact that nobody could beat the pair in a heat.

[6] Green set the track record at Hastings and in the opening meeting on 21 April 1948, he won all six of his rides.

Green made his only appearance in a World final in 1950 and finished second, just a point behind the winner Freddie Williams.
