Born in Donnington, Oxfordshire,〔Hearn, Dan (2010) "(Speedway stars hold memorial reunion )", ''Banbury Cake'', 9 October 2010, retrieved 2012-03-24〕 Major's first speedway experience was riding on a track built on a rubbish tip in his home town.〔Oakes, Peter & Mauger, Ivan (1976) ''Who's Who of World Speedway'', Studio Publications, ISBN 0-904584-04-6, p. 79-80〕 He made his competitive debut in 1959 for Aldershot Shots in the Southern Area League.〔 In the early 1960s he rode for Yarmouth Bloaters, Newcastle Diamonds, Neath Welsh Dragons, St Austell Gulls, and Norwich Stars before riding for his home town club, Oxford Cheetahs in 1963 and 1964.〔 In 1964 he signed for Cradley Heath Heathens, and was the team's top scorer in 1964 before riding with them in the first season of the British League the following year, in which he averaged over 7.5 points per match.〔〔Jones, Alan (2010) ''Speedway in Leicester: The Lions Roar'', Automedia, p. 157〕 After two seasons with Sheffield Tigers he signed for Leicester Lions in 1968, before returning to Oxford in the 1969 season after injury saw him lose his place in the Lions team.〔〔 In 1970, no longer a high points scorer at the top level, he dropped down to the second division with Doncaster Stallions, averaging over 9.5 over the season, with 4 maximum points scores.〔 Four seasons with Birmingham Brummies followed, in which he captained the team and continued to score highly in the second division, before retiring at the end of the 1975 season.〔
