Peter Murray (speedway rider)

Murray, born in Wimbledon, London, began his British leagues career making an appearance for Wimbledon Dons during the 1967 British League season season.^[2] The following season he established himself in both division 1 with Wimbledon and division 2 with Canterbury Crusaders.^[3]

Murray had the distinction of winning both the division 1 and 2 Knockout Cups in 1968.^[4] Additionally he won the London Cup with Wimbledon that year.^[5]

Arguably his breakthrough year was 1969 because he topped the Canterbury team averages^[6] with an impressive 10.35, an average that was the fourth highest in the league.^[7] In addition he won a second Knockout Cup and London Cup with Wimbledon.^[8] He left Canterbury the following season,^[9] missing out on their league title success,^[10] but gained consolation with a third consecutive Knockout Cup and London Cup with Wimbledon.^[11]

After a couple more seasons with the London team, he returned to Canterbury in 1973,^[12] a season which saw him win the Invicta Ludorum Trophy^[13]

He retired during the 1974 season.
