A hard one for the
commentators this one. He was a Polish international who had looked
full of promise when he first moved to Exeter from Hull. Following
some impressive second half outings around the County Ground, he was
to make it into the full team when Les Rumsey stood down and picked
up one point against Coventry. Sadly he wasn't to improve on his
early promise and faded out of the team.
appeared in 13 matches
for Exeter in 1976 and averaged 2.23

signed from Fredriksborg in 1984 upon Exeter's return to British League
racing. During that season he was to appear in 42 matches for the Falcons
finishing with an average of 4.98. Left the following season but was to rejoin
Exeter for the 1989 season, and after a slow start was soon

Bengt Andersson appeared in 18 matches in 1970 and averaged 5.21 having joined from
Wolverhampton as a replacement for the injured Bruce Cribb. Started to look impressive,
before a bad spill put him out of the side. When he returned, he struggled badly on away
tracks, and when he missed a meeting having missed his plane, together with the return to
fitness of Bruce Cribb, Bengt's days as a Falcon came to an end.

Martin joined from swindon where he had lived in the shadows of Briggs and Broadbanks
and after much negotiation, he moved to Exeter. Martin had actually protested to the
Rider Control Comittee about the transfer, and promptly had his best ever two seasons
in the Colours of Exeter. Was instantly liked by the fans and the
move was to be a good decision for Martin who emerged as one of the Division One's
most improved riders. read

Rob Ashton was signed from Halifax for £3,000 at the begining of the 1983 season when it
became clear that former No.1 John Barker was not going to accept the pay terms and intended
to retire. A broken ankle soon put Rob out of action yet he finished that 83 season having
raced in 36 meetings and had averaged 7.35. In 1982 he had been ever present in
the Halifax B.L team and reached the Australian Final of the World Championship and left Exeter at the end of 1983.

One of the all time greats in the history of Exeter Speedway, Scott joined Exeter
in 1973 at the age of nineteen. In his debut season he was too average 6.38 from
35 matches but was too flourish in later seasons and mature into a World Class rider.
Scotts class was showing the following season (1974), and was a big factor in Exeter's
Championship win when he had increased his average to 8.32 from his ever present 36 matches.
