Garry David Middleton (born 19 July 1948 Corowa, New South Wales - 23 November 1994)[1] was an Australian motorcycle speedway rider.[2]
He first came to Britain in 1967 and rode for a short time with the Belle Vue Aces and the King's Lynn Stars before getting a permanent ride with the Wimbledon Dons. He stayed with the Dons for the 1968 season, but in 1969 he moved to the Hackney Hawks. He rode for the Hawks from 1969 until 1971.[3] In 1972, he moved to the Oxford Rebels following a contract dispute with promoter Len Silver. Middleton also raced as an International rider for Australia. After a season with Coventry Bees in 1973, the Midlands club were unable to locate him for the 1974 season.[4]
In 1975 he re-signed for King's Lynn despite efforts from another of his former clubs Coventry to sign him.[5]
