Stan Williams (speedway rider)
Stanley T. H. Williams (25 June 1917 – 2002) was a British motorcycle speedway rider for Sheffield and Coventry. Born in Blaby, Leicestershire in June 1917, Williams started grasstrack racing at the age of seventeen, pushing his bike the eighteen miles from Leicester to Nottingham to take part in his first race. His first speedway experience was from practice sessions at the Leicester Super stadium, later practising at Dagenham. He was signed by Sheffield in 1938, suffering mechanical problems in his first season that saw him close to giving up, but he developed greatly the following year, working under Bluey Wilkinson, including beating Lionel Van Praag in a race at Harringay and reaching the semi-final of the World Championship.
