Gus Kuhn
Gus Kuhn (17 October 1898 – 30 August 1966) was a successful British TT and motorcycle speedway rider during the 1920s and 1930s. He was born in Birmingham, England, and served in the Royal Naval Air Service in World War I.〔 ==Speedway== Kuhn captained the Stamford Bridge team to victory in the 1929 Southern League Championship, and after Stamford Bridge closed in 1932, he spent nearly five years racing for the Wimbledon Dons.〔 In 1937 he moved to the Wembley Lions and then Lea Bridge Speedway Team in 1938, where he was captain. He retired from speedway in 1939 after a season with the Southampton Saints.
“A wily master of track-craft, a brilliant mechanic, a darned hard man to get past (and not only because of his portly figure), and above all a thorough sportsman and a jolly good fellow.” - Speedway News 16 May 1936
Kuhn made his first appearance for England during the first international test match against Australia (1930) and went on to have a number of international appearances throughout the decade.〔Sandys, Leonard (1948) ''Broadside to Fame! The Drama of the Speedways'', Findon, p. 21〕
