Frank Charles (speedway rider)

Frank Charles (born 10 March 1908 Barrow-in-Furness, England - died 15 July 1939)〔Jacobs, N & Lipscombe, P (2005). ''Wembley Speedway : The Pre-War Years''. Stroud: Tempus Publishing ISBN 0-7524-3750-X〕 was a former international motorcycle speedway rider who won the Star Riders' Championship in 1935 and rode in the first ever World Championship final in 1936.
== Career summary ==
Prior to taking up speedway, Charles worked as a baker and grocer, and performed in music halls with a piano accordion.〔 In 1929 Charles rode for Burnley, in 1930 for Manchester White City and then for Leeds Lions and Belle Vue in 1931 but was badly injured and lost his form, and so retired from the sport.〔Sandys, Leonard (1948) ''Broadside to Fame! The Drama of the Speedways'', Findon, p. 17〕 In 1933, the Belle Vue Aces tempted him out of retirement, and looked to have regained his former form when he won the Wembley championship that year, also breaking the track record.〔 In 1934 Charles' father died, so he returned to the family business. In 1935 Wembley Lions paid £1,000 to sign Charles, where he became the club's top scorer and was selected to ride for England against Australia.〔 He went on to win the Star Riders' Championship despite only initially taking part in the competition as a replacement for Ginger Lees.〔 In 1936 he topped the club's scoring again, was top scorer for the England Test team, and qualified for World Championship final, tying for fourth place with Cordy Milne, and broke the track record during the meeting.〔〔Bamford, R. & Shailes, G. (2002). ''A History of the World Speedway Championship''. Stroud: Tempus Publishing. ISBN 0-7524-2402-5〕 He qualified again for the 1937 final. At the end of the 1938 season he decided to retire to concentrate on his long-term hobby of gliding.〔
