Peter Murray (born 18 March 1948) is a former English motorcycle speedway rider.[1]
Murray, born in Wimbledon, London, began his British leagues career making an appearance for Wimbledon Dons during the 1967 British League season season.[2] The following season he established himself in both division 1 with Wimbledon and division 2 with Canterbury Crusaders.[3]
Murray had the distinction of winning both the division 1 and 2 Knockout Cups in 1968.[4] Additionally he won the London Cup with Wimbledon that year.[5]
Arguably his breakthrough year was 1969 because he topped the Canterbury team averages[6] with an impressive 10.35, an average that was the fourth highest in the league.[7] In addition he won a second Knockout Cup and London Cup with Wimbledon.[8] He left Canterbury the following season,[9] missing out on their league title success,[10] but gained consolation with a third consecutive Knockout Cup and London Cup with Wimbledon.[11]
After a couple more seasons with the London team, he returned to Canterbury in 1973,[12] a season which saw him win the Invicta Ludorum Trophy[13]
He retired during the 1974 season.
