Göte Nordin (born 2 July 1935) is a former motorcycle speedway rider from Sweden.[1] [2]
Nordin is a two times champion of Sweden, winning the Swedish Championship in 1965 and 1971.[3] [4] He reached the final of the Speedway World Championship on four occasions (1961, 1962, 1963 and 1966) finishing third in the 1961 Individual Speedway World Championship.[5]
He helped Sweden win the World Team Cup in 1962, 1963, 1964 and 1967. He won the Swedish League title on eight occasions with three clubs.
Nordin won the 1971 Swedish final after Anders Michanek refused to pariticpate in a re-run for the title and was disqualified. Both riders finished on 14 points and in the race off Michanek beat Nordin after the latter pulled out of the race, claiming that he saw a red light to stop the race. The match referee ordered a re-run but Michanek refused to take part claiming there was no red light. The incident resulted in violence between rival supporters and was headline news in Sweden.[6]
He rode in the top tier of British Speedway from 1966 until 1972, riding for various clubs.[7]
