From Word of Sport:

A pictorial history of the Bristol Bulldog speedway team, charting the history of the club from its founding in 1936 to its dissolution in 1999. Featuring detailed captions and results for every season, this is a worthy account that will appeal to fans of the club and sports historians alike.

From the Publisher:

Since its arrival in Britian in the late 1920s, speedway has established itslef as a hugely entertaining sport. It has enjoyed a particularly devoted following in Bristol, a city that first witnessed the thrill of the dirt track racing in 1928, inside the greyhound track at Knowle Stadium.

On 7 August 1936 the riders who represented Bristol were given the collective name of Bristol Bulldogs, though the familiar Bulldog head didn't appear on their race jackets until 1947. This fascinating book, written by Speedway enthusiasts Dave Woods and Geoff Rose, charts the history of the renowned Bulldogs, bearing witness to the triumphs and defeats of this popular team. Readers can wallow in nostalgia as renowned Bulldogs riders such as Mike Beddoe, Nigel Boocock, Dick Bradley, Phil Crump, Roy Dook, Steve Gresham, Billy Hole, Jeff lloyd, Cordy Milne, Jack Mountford, Olle Nygren, Tom Oakley, Geoff Pymar, Bill Rogers, Eric Salmon, Harry Shepherd, Fres Tuck and Roger Wise are recalled.
