Fred Rogers (1 January 1929 – November 2001) was an international motorcycle speedway rider from England. He earned one international cap for the England national speedway team.[1]

Biography

Rogers, born in Sheffield, began his British leagues career riding for Odsal Boomerangs during the 1947 Speedway National League.[2] On his debut he made an immediate impact in front of 17,784 fans by battling hard for three points.[3]

The following season in 1948, he rode for Newcastle Diamonds in division 2 and Yarmouth Bloaters in division 3[4] before moving from Newcastle to join the Norwich Stars.[5] He would spend six more years with Norwich from 1949 to 1954, his average peaking in 1951 at 8.38.[6] He helped Norwich win the division 2 league title in 1950 and the league and National Trophy double in 1951.[7]

He retired after the 1954 season but made a comeback after sealing a transfer to Belle Vue Aces (because he was still officially a Norwich rider) for the 1955 Speedway National League season.[8]
