Hubert Henry Hoskin (4 December 1927 – 20 January 2005) was a motorcycle speedway rider from England. During his speedway career he was known as Goog Hoskin.[1]
Hoskin, born in Exeter, began his British leagues career riding for Exeter Falcons during the 1949 Speedway National League Division Three season.[2] [3]
He spent seven seasons with the Devon club from 1949 to 1955,[4] improving his average season by season and averaged 10.86 and was the division's leading rider during the 1953 Speedway Southern League.[5]
He earned a status as a fan's favourite but was left without a club when Exeter stopped league racing after the 1955 season. Hoskin chose not to join another club and contemplated emigrating to Canada.[6] When Exeter returned to British speedway in 1961, Hoskin was a target for the new promotion at the club, but he chose not to ride.[7] However, he did resume riding for his home club in 1963 for one final season.[8]
