Glasgow Scoring Record
2005 Glasgow Scoring
Record
Shane is returning to Glasgow Tigers for the second consecutive
year in what will be his testimonial year both in the UK and in
Australia.
Outgoing Shane is well known and well liked as one of the few real
entertainers in speedway. A true showman and always one to acknowledge
the fans. He was the first rider to put pen to paper for 2005 and
very much led by example after being appointed captain mid way through
last season. His form at Ashfield was superb and although one or
two of the away tracks proved more tricky his scoring was still
vital.
Shane is an all round sportsman and was the first rider to take
advantage of the appalling 'doubling-down' ruling when it was brought
in.
Never one to avoid controversy or injustice, Shane is president
of the speedway riders association and has gone on record as stating
that speedway will never improve whilst the BSPA runs it. He was
also involved in the controversial incident at Stoke last season
when he failed to finish a race and caused uproar whilst at the
same time highlighting the stupidity of the new Tactical Ride rules.
The popular Aussie has ridden for his country many times and has
a list of Australian titles too long to mention.
Things will never be boring or mundane whilst Shane is around and
Glasgow fans can look forward to some more good entertainment from
him in 2005.
