Arthur Thomas Bush (born 26 February 1925) is a former international motorcycle speedway rider from England. He earned five international caps for the England national speedway team.[1][2]

Biography

Bush was born in 1925 in Dalston, London. He served as a Royal Navy petty officer during World War II before signing for Harringay Racers in the top division of British speedway during June 1947. He was described as a protégé of Vic Duggan.[3]

In 1948, he was loaned out to Bristol Bulldogs in the second division,[4] where he made just a small contribution to their league winning season because later in the season he was loaned out to Yarmouth Bloaters, during the 1948 Speedway National League Division Three season.[5]

In 1949, he finally secured a spot in the Harringay Racers team and remained with Harringay for 1950 but was loaned out to Liverpool Chads during the second half of the season.[6]

His career at Harringay never really took off and before the 1951 season, Harringay signed Jack Biggs from Bradford Tudors for £1,000, in a deal that also saw the exchange of Bush and fellow rider Alf Viccary.[7] However, his form at Bradford impoved to the extent that he was selected by England to represent them in the 1951 winter test series tour of Australia.[8]

He spent the following two seasons with Bradford from 1952 to 1953 but during his last season in 1953 with them, he was transferred to Yarmouth in the second division.[9]
