A SOUVENIR from the glory days of Bradford speedway has been handed over to a fan to replace a treasured lost item.

Bradford speedway enthusiast John Murphy presented a lime green racing jacket, worn by the pit crew of legend Simon Wigg, to fellow fan Matthew Green.

Mr Green, of Cleckheaton, had donated another speedway jacket to an exhibition Mr Murphy had organised at the Bradford Industrial Musuem two years ago, but it had been lost.

Mr Murphy met up again with Mr Green in Bradford at the weekend to present him with the special memento from the Odsal racing days.

Mr Murphy, of Manningham, said: “The jacket had just been sat on a rail for a while. It is a speedway souvenir, quite rare.

“I thought this green jacket would have a value to somebody, and why not give it to Matthew.”
