Speedway motorbike racing was a popular sport throughout the British
Empire from the late 1920s. Among the sport's stars was Dicky Smythe, of
Queensland, Australia, a finalist in that country's "Golden Helmet"
competitions in the early 1930s. Moving to England in 1936, he joined
team competition with the Harringay Tigers. Smythe is pictured on many cigarette
cards of the era. He is shown on his bike at London's Wembley Stadium.
Corners slightly worn. Mounting residue on verso. Slightly scratched, not seen
