Gerald Smitherman (born in Telford, England) is a former motorcycle speedway rider in British League and National League (speedway).

Career

The year 1972 saw Gerald seeking rides at the start of his career, taking second half rides for the experience and a couple of outings with teams. His career took off properly when he was signed for Ellesmere Port Gunners[1] where he stayed for 4 years, returning decent averages in the middle ranks. In his final year, he was signed over to Oxford Cheetahs to promoter Harry Bastable[2]
